On May 10, I joined other legislators in celebration of the Pennsylvania Wing Civil Air Patrol (CAP) Day at the Capitol. Volunteer members, cadets and seniors from all over the Commonwealth made the trip to talk about CAP’s activities. Legislators who support CAP were sworn into the legislative squadron, and I was proud to rededicate myself to the mission alongside members who were being sworn in for the first time..

I co-sponsored a resolution to designate Wednesday, April 26, as National Guard Day in the Commonwealth. The Pennsylvania National Guard is one of the largest National Guard forces in the nation, and they operate not only in times of war and state emergency, but also for special events like the Papal visit. The guard’s support to the civilian community is invaluable, and I salute each man and woman who serves.
