SD CAP Looking For Past Members The South Dakota Wing of the Civil Air Patrol is looking for qualifying applicants to receive the Congressional Gold Medal. The award is given to those who were a member of the CAP during the period from December 7, 1941 to the end of hostilities on September 2, 1945, during World War II. CAP veterans or their families must provide some evidence that shows that an individual served during this period; photos, identification documents copies of orders, or mention in a news article are some of the items accepted for verification purposes. “It is believed that there are many more that would be eligible for the CGM,” said Col. John Seten, the South Dakota Wing’s commander. “We discover more names almost every month as we comb through our own historical records and carry out research at state, county and local archives.” We are currently seeking to contact the individual or the families of John Moodie, Edward Anderson, Carl Baker, Lewis Beckwith, Jack Davis, Chuck Keown, Max Kuehn, Walter Mollers, Martin Schroeder, Cecil Urban, Ross Wehe, Leo Weber, and Roger L’Esperance, Clyde Ice, Floyd Barlow, Franklin Hyde, Ken Neville, Dwight Campbell, Ralph Hubbard, Cecil Shuoe, and Knapp Brown. “One difficulty when we discover a potential candidate is that there is often no contact information at all,” said Wing Historian Major Todd Epp. “We hope news articles such as this will spark someone’s memory and maybe someone will know someone and can put me in touch with either them or their family. I will then set up a time to meet with them and verify any information that they have. We would love to identify more candidates for the award.” Maj. Epp said there were two ways people could contact him if they believed they or someone they know might qualify for the award. He can be reached by cell: 605-3515021 or by email: todd.epp@ sdcap.us. The CAP Congressional Gold Medal bill was signed into law on May 30, 2014. South Dakota’s Senator Thune, then Senator Johnson and Representative Noem co-sponsored the bill. A ceremony was held in Washington, DC last December to make the initial presentations. Since that time two presentations have been made in South Dakota and two more are planned. “Our goal is for every WWII CAP veteran to receive the recognition they deserve for their service and their sacrifice in defense of our nation,” said Maj. Bruce Kipp, South Dakota Wing Public Affairs Officer. For more information on the Civil Air Patrol and for honoring WWII CAP veterans, please visit www. capgoldmedal.com Anyone who thinks they may qualify for the Civil Air Patrol’s Congressional Gold Medal award or knows the family of a former WWII-era CAP member is asked to notify Maj. Todd Epp by cell at: 605-351-5021 or by email: todd.epp@sdcap.us.
