Commanders Watch
By Capt Elvis C. Stout, CAP Squadron Commander

The following is an excerpt from The News-Star article on the Chennault Squadron that appeared in the Sunday Edition on 22 January 2012.

As CAP commander, Stout leads a unit of 23 volunteer members who are citizens of the region doctors, lawyers, engineers, dentists, radio communication specialists, etc. Stout has a photograph of the brown, swollen waters of the Mississippi River taken at Vicksburg during the recent flood of 2011. The Chennault Squadron flew numerous missions over three states assisting emergency agencies. Touring the offices, one can't help recognizing the seriousness and professionalism Stout and his fellow volunteers maintain as members of CAP. Here is a large assembly room where regular business meetings are conducted: a safety report is key to every briefing. Here is the operations room where search and rescue missions are monitored. Then a communications room, with radios and computers. Everywhere are charts, sign-in sheets, schedules and manuals. A few of his fellow volunteers who have offered exemplary service over the years are Maj. Jon Haddad, Deputy-Commander; Maj. Ralph Abraham, Pilot and Medical Officer; Maj. John Benton, Professional Development Officer; and Lt. James Breaux, Safety Officer. But as soon as he names these four, Stout wishes he could include the names of all 23 members, saying he doesn't want to leave anyone out. I'm proud of each and every one.

The Chennault Group recognized businesses and individuals for their support of the squadron. They include Ralph L. Abraham, M.D.A.P.M.C., Miss Louisiana Hope Anderson poses for Rockland Burks, Inc., with Louisiana Wing Staff, Chennault Senior Squadron, McCain Farms, Inc., and Shreveport Senior Squadron Elvis C.
