Its a hot day for Visitors in the old UNIT!By Major Joe Ely Carrales, CAP
Squadron Commander
Corpus Christi Comp Squadron
The Corpus Christi Composite Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol(CAP) honored two local dignitaries, Nueces County Commissioner Charles “Chuck” Cazalas and Preparedness & Response Director for the Coastal Bend Chapter of the American Red Cross Nevada J Linford on 6 February 2007 for their continued support and cooperation in helping revitalize the unit’s Emergency Services, Aerospace Education and Cadet Programs.
“We are fortunate indeed,” said Squadron Commander Major Joe Ely Carrales, “Yes, fortunate indeed to be working and associated with persons like Commissioner Cazalas and Director Linford.”
In 2003, Commissioner Cazalas championed a motion to grant the use of a hanger at Nueces Co. Airport for use in Civil Air Patrol Emergency Service and Cadet Programs. This has proved to be a boon to the unit’s capabilities and has allowed the unit to operate its missions in Nueces County. Last year, Director Linford of the Red Cross worked closely with the unit to provide training in shelter management, disaster assessment and First Aid the unit’s first wave of new CAP Officers.
“There will be continued cooperation with the Red Cross,” explained Major Carrales, “the heart of the volunteer is a strong one and we will be united to meet the needs of Nueces County and South Texas.”
