Edinburg, In. – 2nd Lt. Andrew Wortman, Deputy Commander for Cadets of Maryland Wing’s Fort McHenry Squadron, was recently recognized as the Distinguished Graduate of the 2010 Ground Team Leader course during a ceremony at the National Emergency Services Academy (NESA). Throughout the course 2nd Lt. Wortman demonstrated exceptional leadership, problem solving skills, and an extraordinary aptitude for land navigation and crisis management. The Ground Team Leader course is the most extensive of NESA’s three Ground Search and Rescue (SAR) School courses. It is a physically and psychologically demanding 7-day course designed to prepare CAP’s Ground Team Leaders with the skills needed to safely and effectively manage Ground SAR teams operating in diverse and often hostile environments. CAP’s Ground SAR teams are comprised of both adult and cadet volunteers that perform missing aircraft, missing person, disaster response, and other emergency services at the request of federal, state and local agencies.

BALTIMORE, Md – On Saturday, 10 July 2010, three members from the Fort McHenry Composite Squadron joined members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard and the Fort Meade Enlisted Spouses Club in greeting 35 World War II veterans at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. The event, which was sponsored by the Honor Flight Network, was attended by the Fort McHenry Composite Squadron’s Captain Larry Moore (also a Technical Sergeant in the USAF), Second Lieutenant Jake Kellogg and Cadet/Airman Malcolm Scott.
As the 35 veterans and 21 guardians from Ohio's Columbus Honor Flight made their way off the aircraft, passengers waiting in the terminal joined the volunteer greeters in cheering and applause that could be heard across BWI’s B-terminal. The applause from waiting passengers continued as the volunteers escorted the veterans to an awaiting bus. The three Civil Air Patrol greeters then joined the members of the Armed Forces in a line formation and rendered a final salute as, despite rainy weather, the veterans departed for a day of reflection at the World War II Memorial in Washington D.C. |
