[PAO] The American Red Cross Versus Civil Air Patrol Public Relations

[Ken]

Steve if it went to the squadron level I'm not aware that we got it.
However, just taking a quick look at Google News, I can't find one pre 
DR story this year anywhere on the east coast  that talks about how CAP 
stands ready to support DR operations, especially with aerial 
photography.  (Than goes into what CAP did in the past on the east coast 
to support the type of mission).  Perhaps your package deals with when 
we are actually called and not some PR prior to being called.

I can only say that we are all volunteers and your mileage will vary on 
what can actually get accomplished by the various levels, but it does 
really get down to the squadron level where most of us have the direct 
contact with the news media.

Anyways, there's no personal vendetta by me but facts are facts and you 
can't change history!

BTW thanks for what you do for CAP!
