As you well know Veteran's Day approacheth :clap: ...many CAP units will be honoring Veterans in unique ways from participating in Veteran's Day Activities to some more quite affair.

Now might be a good time and place to relay those plans!

I am not a Veteran... How might a CAP Officer like myself best honor these heroes?

BTW...5 Novemeber to 11 November is Veteran's Awareness by Congressional Mandate (much like 17 September is Constitution Day)

Our squadron will be participating in our wing Academic Bowl this Saturday. So I'm sure we'll at least recognize the day.

In a more 'official' capacity, our squadron is participating in the Wreaths Across America project. If your squadron wants to participate in this, I would suggest it. We're considering it a great honor to be able to do such a thing.

Check out the website if you haven't already.

Veteran's Day was founded in Emporia, Kansas and the local squadron's color guards had so many invitation to lead area parades and post memorials it had to turn down invitations. The entire unit is also marching in the City parade, followed by a memorial service and bean feed afterward.

Ottawa is also having a large parade and car show where members from 3 unts are assisting with cordoning off the military vehicle displays, parking, etc.

We're also having a Mission scanner training session in Wichita, so it's a busy weekend for KSWG.

"And Saint Attila raised the Holy Hand Grenade up on high saying, "Oh Lord, Bless us this Holy Hand Grenade, and with it smash our enemies to tiny bits. And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs, and stoats, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and lima bean-"

" Skip a bit, brother."

"And then the Lord spake, saying: "First, shalt thou take out the holy pin. Then shalt thou count to three. No more, no less. "Three" shall be the number of the counting, and the number of the counting shall be three. "Four" shalt thou not count, and neither count thou two, execpting that thou then goest on to three. Five is RIGHT OUT. Once the number three, being the third number be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade to-wards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuffit. Amen."

A riffle is not authorized. I checked Vanguards catalog and they are not listed. And we all know if National HQ wanted cadets to have riffles they would be in the Vanguard catalog.
