The event coordinator and the Airport manager have asked for help from CAP, and wanted to be sure the invitation goes out to all GIII Squadrons.

We'll probably be doing some gate guarding, "Do not cross" line watching, balloon duty, light first aide, etc.

The Black Sheep Cadets will also be doing an RON and Fire Guard duty Saturday night. (Part of Ground Team training is to secure an area, so this is perfect)

Please check the Black Black Sheep Squadron Website for details.

DALLAS…At the conclusion of the annual Civil Air Patrol Wing conference, held this past

Weekend at the Marriott-Quorum hotel, safety paid off in a big way for two members First Lt

David Grant and Cadet Lt Shawn were both awarded the Civil Air Patrol’s Life Saver

Ribbon for saving lives at two widely separated places. Lt Grant’s life saving moment came

As he had just finished dining in a restaurant and happened to notice a young lady who was

Clasping her throat and was obviously having trouble breathing. As Lt Grant approached the

Young girl he asked if she were having trouble breathing. Unable to reply, because she was

Choking on a piece of food and could only gesture. Grant quickly turned the girl around and

Performed a Heimlich maneuver on her by placing his arms around her midsection and

Compressing it quickly discharging the errant piece of food from her throat.
