July 9, 2020
Dear Air Force Association Member:
Thank you for your dedicated support of the Air Force as a member of the Air Force Association. Your support through the AFA is critical for the Air Force Total Force to include our airmen and their families serving worldwide.
Civil Air Patrol is also proud to be included as part of the Total Force. Unique in being both the Air Force Auxiliary and a national nonprofit, you may already be aware that for the past 25 years, the Air Force Association has been a crucial partner to CAP in promoting aerospace education and fostering an interest in STEM careers in hundreds of thousands of students and cadets across the country.
As a result of this mutual affiliation, I am pleased to invite you – if not already a CAP member -- to become a Friend of CAP for two years -- at no cost, and with no obligation. This is your chance to show your support of and learn about the impact our more than 66,000 members make as citizens serving communities.
As a Friend of CAP, you will receive digital copies of CAP’s Volunteer magazine, our annual report to Congress, our monthly e-newsletter curated for our CAP alumni and friends, and invitations to special friend events (in-person and virtual), plus periodic digital updates on our missions and programs and more.
To learn more about and take advantage of this offer, please click HERE. To receive the no-cost Friend of CAP option, enter coupon code AFACAP2020 at checkout. Please note that this offer can be extended only until October 1, 2020.
Immediately upon joining, you will receive your digital welcome kit, which will explain more about our shared work. You’ll also receive an update regarding CAP’s COVID-19 response across the nation.
Again, we encourage you to join today and look forward to working alongside you and your fellow AFA members and helping to shape the future aerospace workforce of our nation.
Sincerely,
Mark E. Smith
Major General, CAP
CAP National Commander/CEO

EW Veterans Task Force- Highway 902 Naming Proposal
Individual comments are encouraged at the address below. Please feel free to share this with your contacts.
Highway 902 Naming
The Eastern Washington Veterans Task Force initiated a proposal to name State Route 902 from mile marker 0 to 12 the Gold Star Memorial Highway. The term Gold Star is used to identify a servicemember who lost their life in service to their country, the ultimate sacrifice. The designation honors the service member’s ultimate sacrifice while acknowledging their family’s loss, grief, and continued healing. There is a large population of gold star families residing in Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho who have experienced that loss. This proposal recognizes their sacrifices. A number of state elected officials from Eastern Washington have endorsed this request in writing. This proposal has the support of a number of civic and veteran organizations as well.
A formal proposal has been submitted to the Washington State Transportation Commission, which is expected to reconvene as COVID-19 restrictions allow.
