                       Tuesday, September 6, 2016

  Mr. DEUTCH.  Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of the Coral Springs 
Cadet Squadron of the noble Civil Air Patrol, who was recently honored 
by the Coral Springs City Commission in commemoration of their 30th 
anniversary of invaluable service to the Coral Springs community.
  For decades, the Civil Air Patrol has performed the overwhelming 
majority of domestic search and rescue missions as an auxiliary of the 
United States Air Force. The nonprofit organization is accredited for 
saving over seventy lives per year. These unpaid professionals claim a 
proud legacy of selfless sacrifice and service to their country and 
community that spans over decades. The debt we owe to these brave 
individuals is immeasurable, and we must always remember their service.
  The Coral Springs Cadet Squadron has been serving the South Florida 
communities of Coral Springs, Parkland, Coconut Creek, Tamarac, and 
Margate for 30 years. Their ready willingness to present colors and 
render honors at ceremonies makes them an irreplaceable asset to these 
cities. Furthermore, their cadet programs inspire youth to become 
leaders and exemplary citizens.
  I am proud to honor the Coral Springs Cadet Squadron of the Civil Air 
Patrol in the Congressional Record. I join the Coral Springs Commission 
in congratulating them on three decades of exemplary service and 
leadership.
