If not already an AFA member, become a member of the AFA -- at NO cost! CAP is offering AFA members the chance to become a "Friend of CAP" for two years- at NO cost. AFA members not already CAP members should take advantage of this special opportunity. (Note: special Coupon Code was sent to AFA members in a December 15, 2017 e-mail.) The Air Force Association has long supported the Civil Air Patrol, the official Auxiliary of the United States Air Force. The missions of both organizations include the need to educate the general public about the importance of aerospace power, both now and in the future. Science, technology, engineer- ing, and math (STEM) education initiatives are paramount in fulfilling this mission, and both the AFA and CAP provide a multitude of K-12 STEM opportunities for young people.. CAP and AFA agree: producing patriotic and technologically-prepared future citizens is of prime im- portance in maintaining global competitiveness and national security. The two organizations have joined hands to collaborate, join each other’s organization, leverage re- sources, and work toward the same goal of preparing to defend our nation with the strength of air, space and cyber power. Specifically, each organization brings unique alliance contributions. 5 TEXAS WING CONFERENCE 2018 - EMBASSY SUITES, SAN MARCOS, TX TX Congressional Gold Medal Recipients A Congressional Gold Medal was awarded collectively Dec. 10, 2014 to the World War II members of the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) during a ceremony in Emancipation Hall in the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center. The medal, designed and struck by the United States Mint, recognizes the organization for their humanitarian, combat, and national services during a critical time for our nation. The CAP began operations under the Office of Civilian Defense on Dec. 1, 1941, one week before the United States entered World War II. Within a few months, the unpaid volunteers became involved in military operations by assisting the U.S. Army and the U.S. Navy. Using privately owned aircraft and personal funding, the CAP members performed numerous essential tasks in support of the military and the nation, including armed convoy and antisubmarine patrols off the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. The CAP served the nation from March 1942 to August 1943. The heroic aircrew is credited with escorting more than 5,600 convoys, reporting 173 U-boats and attacking 57, flying 86,685 total 1st Lt Alfred H. Koym - KIA 11 Nov 1942 Cadet Richard "Dick" H.

Joel Carey remembers visiting the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C., as a child, and being amazed at the aircraft and displays. "I couldn't get enough of the stuff. I was always the last to leave," recalled Colonel Carey, now the 12th Flying Training Wing commander at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, Texas, and a brigadier general select. That fascination and appreciation for military aviation grew, especially after receiving a Daedalian scholarship from the James Connally Flight #75 in Waco, Texas, in 1992. "The money they generously gave, along with matching funds from the national Daedalians, helped quite a bit in paying for my college and living expenses at the time," the colonel said. "I think I also used a portion of those funds to start learning how to fly out at the Waco airport." The scholarship made an impression on him - so much so that he has continued to stay in touch with Flight #75 during his Air Force career. "I remember it being quite a big deal getting recognized by a group of veteran aviators who'd experienced things I only hoped to experience one day. I also remember being extremely surprised and honored receiving something like that amid the great group of cadets in my Baylor Air Force ROTC detachment," said the colonel, now a Daedalian Life Member.
