                     BROOMFIELD COMPOSITE SQUADRON

 Mr. BENNET. Mr. President, I congratulate the Broomfield 
Composite Squadron for being named the 2010 Civil Air Patrol Squadron 
of Distinction. This honor speaks to the dedication and hard work of 
each cadet and senior member, as well as the squadron's leadership in 
providing outstanding programs and recruitment.
  The Broomfield Composite Squadron was selected as the squadron with 
the best performance from all 50 States, the District of Columbia, and 
Puerto Rico for its excellence in cadet programs, rapid increase in 
membership, and high percentage of cadet progression through the 
program.
  Communities across Colorado and the country have come to depend on 
the Civil Air Patrol in times of emergency for search and rescue 
expertise, but CAP's development and education of young leaders is 
equally important. The Broomfield Composite Squadron's success in this 
area, and its recognition as the best in the country, means that 
Colorado is especially lucky to have so many young people willing to 
serve their community, learn about aerospace technology, and prepare 
for their futures.
  All of Colorado is proud and grateful for the Broomfield Composite 
Squadron's commitment to serving as a model for CAP squadrons across 
the country.
