Gentlemen,

Please get your CSRs turned in. If you send them to National, they do not send them to Detachment. Best way to get them to Detachment is to email Detachment Adjutant Timothy Van Patten . You can also copy Charlie in Troy on them so Department has a copy. These are due 1 July. If they are not turned in, your squadron will lose out on awards. If you need email address you can reach out to me.

Thank you!

For God and Country!
