CAP Teen Earns Spaatz Award: 
Cadet Col. Katrina Lichtford, a 16-year-old member of the Civil Air Patrol, received the highest CAP honor from Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Michael Moseley last week during a ceremony at the Pentagon. The Gen. Carl A. Spaatz Award was presented to Lichtford for more than three and a half years of CAP service and for demonstrating excellence in leadership, character, fitness, and aerospace education.
