Civil Air Patrol Cadets from Boca Raton Composite Squadron participate in Memorial Day Ceremony at West Boca Raton’s Veterans’ Memorial Park.
Addressing a crowd of several hundred, Cadet Senior Airman Robert Robinson moved the audience when he said: “Looking at that flag, and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, reminds us of the risks and losses that sadly required that flag to wave, and to stand. We as Americans will never forget our fallen heroes.”
The West Boca Raton Community High School senior asked all to say a prayer for our veterans, active military and their families as they marked Memorial Day.
The Boca Raton Composite Squadron’s regular meetings are held on Tuesday evenings 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the Civil Air Patrol building at Boca Raton Airport.
