From Mud to Medals: Col. Levy’s Path to the Spaatz (Posted September 9, 2025)
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. Her proudest legacy isn’t the award—it’s the cadets she’s mentored. Her advice: keep showing up. For Levy, the Spaatz wasn’t the finish line—it was the launchpad.
