Corpus Christi Comp Squadron Shield

This is the current symbol of the Corpus Christi Comp Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol. At a date to be named later we will conduct a contest to design a more South Texas design that reflects Corpus Christi and the Coastal bend.

Symbolism is very significant and it is important to me that we have a unit emblem that reflects our locale and allows us to take ownership of our Unit.

Currently, our shield reflects several important CAP principles. 1. the blue background representing our ties with the Mother Service, the US Air Force. 2) The Winged "Lone Star" reflecting the symbolism of the Texas Wing. 3) The Red Tri-Prop in a white triangle reflecting our Civil Defense origins in the Second World War. 4) The letter "CAP" to clearly identify our three missions to those that we serve.
