Welcome to the Hanover Composite Squadron's Wreaths Across America Page. The Hanover Composite Squadron is a local unit of the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) that meets in Mechanicsville, VA.
The Civil Air Patrol is America’s premier public service organization for carrying out emergency services and disaster relief missions nationwide.
