Westchester Cadet Squadron 1, Civil Air Patrol

What an AMAZING day for @ny048cap!! Two of our most outstanding cadets - C/Col. Grant Becker and C/Col. Adam DeLitta - were honored, along with now Senior Member Sean Flynn - during the NY Wing Conference in Lake George NY for earning the Carl A. Spaatz Award, the highest cadet achievement in the Cadet Program achieved by only 1% of CAP Cadets. The award was presented by Civil Air Patrol’s National Commander, Major General Edward Phelka. Major General Phelka earned the award... himself as a Cadet in the program. I credit my success in CAP as well in my private life largely due to CAP’s Cadet program said Phelka. CONGRATULATIONS to all of you!! All of us at WCS1 and NYWG couldn’t be more proud of this enormous achievement. EXCELSIOR!!! more NYWG Conference news to follow! Stay tuned! #TotalForce #civilairpatrol #GoFlyCAP #CAPCadet #Cadetlife #SpaatzAward @nywingcap
