ARIZONA – Members of London Bridge Composite Squadron 501 have made a mision of doing their best to help brighten the days of U.S. men and women in uniform stationed all over the world.
Most service members do not receive much mail or get a chance to communicate with anyone back home other than family. Some need everyday items that can’t be obtained in the Iraqi desert or at sea in the Navy.
So the squadron members decided to do something about it.
Upon seeing a short documentary on adopting a U.S. soldier, the unit enrolled in the program. In all, 15 cadets and the squadron’s deputy commander for cadets, Capt. Joel Cosmano, are now writing our sailors, Marines, airmen and soldiers around the world. The cadets involved took on the project with great pride and are committed for the long term.
“As a U.S. Navy vet and the deputy commander for cadets, I am honored to wear the uniform of a Civil Air Patrol member and lead these cadets in something new and exciting,” Cosmano said.
“I could not be anymore proud of them.”
