Cadet Colonel Hannah Levy of Georgia Wing earned the Civil Air Patrol’s top cadet honor, the Spaatz Award, joining just 0.4% nationwide. Her journey was shaped by muddy encampments, mentorship, and quiet leadership. Now studying international affairs and intelligence, Levy credits CAP with instilling confidence and purpose.
