Bolling Air Force Base, Washington 28, D. C.
Ii April 1949
Dear CAP Member:
It is with a great deal of pleasure that I
forward t~ you the long-awaited Certificate of Honorable
Service for your wartime duty with Civil Air Patrol. I
think you will agree with me that it is a worthwhile
certificate, issued in recognition of worthwhile service.
Fl~ase bear in mind the fact that the rank
indicated on the certificate was taken from records
several years old. In many cases the rank is not
indicated on these records. I felt that since this
certificate was for wartime service, it should ~e
issued on the basis of rank during that time.
I hope that you are still an interested
active member of Civil Ah~Patr~l. Through necessity
the organization has changed somewhat from wartime days,
but the same spirit of patriotic service is prevalent.
If you have become inactive, why not contact your local
CAP unit to find out what the present organization is
d o i n g a n d p l a n n i n g ? Yo u w i l l fi n d t h a t C A P h a s a f u t u r e ,
as well as a past.
Yo u w h o r e c e i v e t h i s c e r t i fi c a t e a r e t h e f o u n d a t i o n
on which today's Civil Air?Patrol was built; I amsure that
we can depend on your continued support.
Sincerely yours,
