The General Carl Spaatz award is Civil Air Patrol’s highest cadet honor. It is presented to cadets who have demonstrated excellence in leadership, character, fitness, and aerospace education.

Along the way they develop self-discipline, a strong sense of personal responsibility, the ability to lead and persuade, and the foundation necessary for pursuing a career in aviation, space, or technology.

On average, only five cadets in one thousand earn the Spaatz Award and the Spaatz Award is arguably the most difficult honor to earn in the CAP cadet program.

It is truly an honor to have been a part of the presentation of this prestigious award to C/Col Peter M. Spinelli Jr. at the 2019 Mass Wing/Northeast Region Conference.
