                              the Civil Air Patrol really got spun up as

                              in <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place
                                  w:st="on">South Carolina</st1:place></st1:state>.
                               The weather was great in some areas, good
                              enough in others, and unfortunately almost
                              good enough in a few places.  Our priority
                              has been on flying and identifying
                              locations that need or will shortly need
                              SAR assets and getting rescue to those
                              locations.  Right behind that, and
                              sometimes simultaneously with that, we
                              provided impact assessment reports and
                              photography.  Even now, there are CAP
                              members that are compiling reports and
                              continuing to plan for the next
                              operational periods.  We’ll kick off again

                              went hungry, or didn’t have a place to
                              stay.  Mrs. Kim Phillips, our Wing

                              well above and beyond the call of duty.
                               There are so many names out there
