My neice, Serena, recently was awarded her Billy Mitchell award through the Civil Air Patrol cadet program. (Billy Mitchell led the raid on Tokyo in early 1942 and is remembered as one of America's important aviators.)
Serena will also be recognized by the local VFW in April as Cadet of the Year. She's attended the Honor Guard Academy in Maryland, where she and her group were taught by the US Air Force Honor Guard and she's been selected to return this year for advanced training.
Pictured here with her is the commander of the Charlotte County Composite Squadron, Major Jim Kaletta.
