Goddard Cadet Squadron
Yesterday, we learned that one of our cadets, C/A1C James Belanger, perished in a house fire during the evening hours of 1 DEC 2018 in Millbury, Massachusetts. No further information is yet available.
C/A1C Belanger was a member of the Goddard Cadet Squadron Color Guard, Cyber Patriot Team and recently completed his basic Encampment. He will be sorely missed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Kittenplan/Belanger family as they deal with this unfortunate tragedy.
If any cadets are in need of counseling, please do not hesitate to contact any of the GCS staff. We are here to help you. A Civil Air Patrol Chaplain will be available at our meeting next Sunday.
As more information is made available, we will pass it on.
