CAP Ceritifcates of Appreciation

[Pylon]

Does anybody have a CAP Certificate of Appreciation (the national-supplied one) kicking around? 

I'm looking for the verbiage written on it and, if possible, also a snapshot of it.  I've got a bunch at home, but I'm at work and trying to design a corporate Cert. of Appreciation.  I like the basic layout and flow of the CAP certificate and can't remember how they word the actual certificate.

I know it goes something like "..... in recognition of outstanding support to Civil Air Patrol and its missions..." or something similar.

If someone has one around, can ya just post what is says on there?  Thanks!

Sweet. Thanks! 

All I had to do is get up for a second and pull it off the I Love Me Wall.

  You have a Love Me Wall too? 

Whew ... thank goodness...I thought I was the only one with that problem.

Yeah, I got a couple of Certificates of Appretiation. I found a great place for them... in the trash.

When EVERY SINGLE PERSON gets appreciated, then it doesn't really mean too much to me (like, oh, the achievement ribbons ).

Not to be harsh or anything, but a Certificate of Appreciation never meant anything to me. If they appreciated me, then I know that because of how they treat me and what they say to me. If they REALLY appreciate me, then I get a shiny new commander's commondation or something. If they don't appreciate me, then they give me a certificate that makes it LOOK like they appreciate me.

Well, I see them differently. When given out at a meeting or similar mass gathering of any proportion, they become public recognition of your efforts for the organization. It lets others know that you have done outstanding  work at your normal "job" for CAP.

My old unit used to have a holiday banquet in December where all the fun stuff got handed out. Much of it was a complete surprise to the recipient. These folks just did their jobs to the best of their abilities and made significant contributions to the unit, and got recognized for it.

As for Commander's Commendations, I see those as recognition for participation above and beyond the regularly scheduled events in the unit.

Of course, YMMV.
