Pangborn Cadets had a busy month in December. The parents of the Cadets put together a great Christmas party for the Cadets and Senior staff members. The food was outstanding. Cadet/2nd Lt Elijah Rinke and C/SMSgt Isaac Black won gift cards in the drawing contest for sponsoring five or ten wreaths for the Wreath Across America program. The squadron received 414 sponsors this year.
Cadet Lt Col Emmanuel Larsen, C/2nd Lt Elijah Rinke, Cadet/Chief Master Sergeant Austin Jeffris, Cadet/Senior Master Sergeant Isaac, Cadet/Tech Sergeant Zachary Wiser, Cadet/Staff Sergeant Grey Olin, and Cadet Airman 1st Class Alexandrea Toledo performed as a 7-person Color Guard detail for the Wreaths Across America Ceremony at the Evergreen Memorial Park, on the 18th of December 2021. Thank you Veterans for Foreign Wars Post 3617 for your great support this year.
Cadet Zachary Wiser received his promotion to C/TSgt and earned his Aerospace Education Basic Stem Badge. Congratulations to C/TSgt Wiser.
Senior member, 2nd Lt Douglas Gardner was promoted to the rank of 1st Lt on the 5th of December 2021. Congratulations to Lt Gardner.
Three members of the squadron, Captain Audra Keyanna, C/SSgt Grey Olin, and C/Amn Ezekiel Edmondson attended the Washington All Mission Academy in Ephrata, at Camp Robert L. Boucher. The academy puts on classes every month in Aerospace Education, Emergency Services, Cadet Program, and a wide range of different classes from Friday to Sunday.
Cadets collected toys and clothing at the Christmas party on the 14th and they were taken to the family center called “The Grace House.” The items were given to the director of the center. We were able to bless 18 children and their mothers with our gifts.
