MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE, Ala.- Civil Air Patrol members are encouraged to wear their service dress or corporate uniform while attending worship services the Saturday or Sunday before Memorial Day.
CAP's National Executive Council has requested that the organization's region commanders encourage members to wear their uniform on their day of worship both before Memorial Day and on the first weekend in December. CAP will mark its 70th anniversary Dec. 1, and the organization plays a vital role in the Wreaths Across America campaign to honor American veterans throughout the nation and the world the second Saturday of every December.
"Wearing our uniforms in surroundings and circumstances that incorporate reverence and respect reflect some of Civil Air Patrol's deepest core values,” said Maj. Gen. Amy S. Courter, CAP national commander. “We hope our members choose to represent our organization at this important time in our history – when the nation pays tribute to veterans who have served, fought and died to preserve America’s freedoms."
Memorial Day this year is observed Monday, May 30.
