#CharacterMatters March is #WomensHistoryMonth and the #CivilAirPatrol cadet virtue is having a #VisionAndGoals. Today's quote comes from aviatrix and author Amelia Mary Earhart who spoke often of the importance of following one's dreams. Earhart is an exemplar in the CAP cadet award program. She said:

"Some of us have great runways already built for us. If you have one, take off. But if you don't have one, realize it is your responsibility to grab a shovel and build one for yourself and for those who will follow after you."

Join the Chaplain Corps for more on this important topic.
