VIRGINIA – The Winchester Composite Squadron’s color guard helped open the Little League state tournament July 22 in Clintwood by presenting the colors during the national anthem.
On a day where temperatures on the field climbed near 100, the color guard – Cadet Staff Sgts. Isaac Baumhoefner and David Colvin and Cadet Airmen Adam King and Andy King – didn’t miss a step.
The cadets “looked very sharp and did a great job,” said David Wellington, one of the organizers of the state tournament. “Their participation was extra special and added a touch of class to the opening ceremonies.”
Several members of the Little League board of directors are former military and also commented on the color guard’s professionalism.
“I am very proud of these cadets who not only took the time to participate in the opening ceremony, but also (served as) a fine example to the youth in attendance,” said Capt. Christopher Colvin, squadron commander. “It’s through activities of this nature where the Civil Air Patrol can become more visible in the communities.”
