I have been asked to present a Medal and Certificate of Appreciation to this year's outstanding Sea Cadet, United States Sea Corps and Navy League Cadets. This is an honor and privilege. Below is the letter of introduction from our Regent:

"I would like to introduce you to Bonnie .......

Bonnie has graciously volunteered to present the award on behalf of the ..... Chapter, .....

Bonnie is held in the highest esteem within our chapter (as well as other chapters), and shared a wonderful presentation last weekend with all of us. I think it it befitting for me to mention that Bonnie's father was ...., who joined the Navy as a Seaman and Midshipman. He became a pilot in 1941 after completing Flight School in Pensacola. He received Navy Ensign, and Navel Reserves Certificate on March 3, 1943. On January 3, 1951 he reported to duty as a Lt. Commander. He was in WWII and survived a couple of plane crashes. I could not begin to do justice to telling of all of his accomplishments, but as you can tell we are very proud of Bonnie and know you will enjoy her presence at your wonderful event."
