THE SENIOR MEMBER CREED
by 2Lt Vi Hansel
am a senior member of the Civil Air
Patrol.
wear the uniform with pride, for it reflects the great heritage I share with
my fellow members.
am somewhat in awe of those who have
gone before me -Men like Gill Bobb Wilson and Hap Arnold.
know as a CAP senior member I carry a
g r e a t r e s p o n s i b i l i t y, b o t h t o t h e
cadets who look to me for guidance
and to the country I dearly love.
am here to serve.
a m h e r e b e c a u s e I f e e l a n e e d t o r e p a y,
in so~e p~rt, the good fortune this
life has given me.
d o m y j o b t o t h e b e s t o f m y a b i l i t y,
b e c a u s e I k n o w t h a t s o m e d a y, s o m e o n e = s
life may depend on it.
am not here for glory or personal gain.
am here because I have seen the look on
a mother!s face when her lost child was
r e s t o r e d t o h e r.
am here because I have seen the face of
a man who had gone three days without
water after a hurricane,
am here because I have felt the hopelessness of a pilot forced down in
d e s o l a t e c o u n t r y, I n j u r e d a n d w i t h
only the remains of his shattered
d r e a m f o r c o m p a n y.
And I have felt the mixture of heartbreak
and relief when, after a long search,
the uncertainty was ended for the
next of kin.
And I have seen an awkward, unmanageable
teenager become a mature, young adult
wlth a new sense of values and both
eyes squarely on the future.
I will say with pride to any man -I AM HERE, I AM PART OF THIS, I AM A
SENIOR MEMBER IN THE CIVIL AIR PATROL!

BE LIKE THE POSTAOE STAMP . . .IT STICKS

IT'S THE ONE WHO IS QUICKEST TO SEE
A THING THROUGH!!

HAVE DRAPED THE CASKETS OF A MILLION
FALLEN WARRIORS, BEEN FOLDED GENTLY AND
HANDED TO A WEEPING MOTHER.
I HAVE BEEN CARRIED IN VICTORY
BUT NEVER IN DEFEAT.
I HAVE LOOKED DOWN UPON KINGS AND ALL
THE GREAT MEN OF MY TIME.
I HAVE BEEN BURNED, CURSED, AND SPAT UPON.
YES, YOU MAY BE DISGRACED,
BUT I HAVE LIVED IN SO MUCH GLORY
THAT I CAN NEVER BE DISGRACED.
I BELONG TO NO ONE AND YET, I BELONG
TO EVERYONE, FOR I AM A SYMBOL OF THE
HERITAGE OF FREEDOM, AND I SHALL ALWAYS
BE -- AS LONG AS THERE IS AN AMERICA.

THERE IS ALWAYS ROOM AT THE TOP...
THE CROWD IS AT THE BOI-FOM
WAITING FOR AN ELEVATOR.
