Two cadets from Sioux Falls Comp Squadron received their Amelia Earhart Awards last evening - Cadet Captains Triston den Hoed and Clover Naughton. Only about 5% of CAP cadets nationally advance to this level. The awards were presented by Col Michael Marek, SD Wing commander.

Cadets in Big Sioux Composite Squadron presented the colors this weekend for a huge Tae Kwon Do tournament that included more than over 200 competitors from over 25 different schools, and six states.
