2026 So Far
I am Cadet Airman First Class Jose Armenta of the Civil Air Patrol Magic City Composite Squadron in Minot and I am proud to be supporting Wreaths Across America. “Remember, Honor, Teach” means remembering those who served, honoring them, and then teaching others how to honor them too. It’s a cycle of respect that I’m proud to be part of.
My favorite part of wreath ceremony day was setting up the crosses — it was fun, and it felt good to help create something meaningful for our community. CAP has taught me a lot about what it means to serve. If I had to sum CAP up in three words, I’d say volunteer service, excellence, and trustworthiness.
My favorite part of being a cadet is easy: Senior Member Webb’s cookies — definitely. Beyond the cookies, CAP is helping me work toward my dream of getting my pilot’s license. Every activity gives me more confidence and shows me what leadership really looks like.
I’ve learned how to speak up, step forward, and be a leader. CAP pushes me to grow, and Wreaths Across America gives me a chance to honor the people who made our freedom possible.
Please 
SPONSOR wreaths to be placed on our veterans graves in Rosehill Cemetery. We are working to also cover the approximately 350 North Dakota veteran graves in Arlington Cemetery. Almost 30% of all wreath funding returns to my squadron and covers our ground activities for a year! Events such as search and rescue exercises, character and leadership development, rocketry education, physical fitness training, and educational field trips would not be possible without the donations of Minot's generous wreath sponsors!
Thank you so much for supporting me, Civil Air Patrol Magic City Composite Squadron here in Minot, and Wreaths Across America.
