Today is National Wreaths Across America Day. It's not too late to sponsor one!

This holiday season, join us in honoring our nation’s heroes by sponsoring a wreath for Wreaths Across America. Each wreath will be placed on the grave of a veteran, ensuring their sacrifices are remembered and celebrated.

Your support not only helps honor those who served but also directly supports our local Civil Air Patrol squadron, empowering our cadets with leadership training, aerospace education, and community service opportunities.

We are deeply saddened to share that earlier today, a Civil Air Patrol Cessna 182 crashed in Larimer County, Colo., while participating in a search and rescue training exercise. There was one survivor and two fatalities.

CAP will cooperate fully with the NTSB in the investigation. We are grateful for the outpouring of support from our members, communities, and partners, during this difficult time.

Today our members proudly volunteered their time and efforts at the annual 500 Turkeys Giveaway. Together, we helped distribute food to hundreds of families in need, ensuring they have a warm meal for the holidays.

Community service is a cornerstone of the Civil Air Patrol mission, and events like this allow us to give back to those who need it most. We are honored to support such a meaningful cause and grateful to the 500 Turkeys organization for making this event possible.

Thank you to all the volunteers who gave their time and energy to make a difference in our community!
