Rangi & Civil Air Patrol
As many of you know, Rangi is an active member of the Civil Air Patrol. He has spent a lot of time updating the Lebanon Squadron Web site, http://lebanon.nhwgcap.org/. 
It’s a good place to go if you want more information on the organization.
Rangi recently received three awards for his dedication to the organization. He received two Commander’s Commendations for outstanding duty performance. One was for his overall dedication and another for rescuing a pilot of a downed aircraft. His third award was a Certificate of Recognition for Lifesaving for outstanding humanitarian service for the rescue.
>The rescue occurred on July 5. A pilot was flying his son home after a long weekend of camping. He was flying on a cloudy day under visual flight rules and ran into Mt. Kearsarge. The pilot survived but the son died on impact.
Let me know if you want more information on the save. Rangi wrote up a great briefing with all the details. I’m really proud of him for what he did. He and Charlie, the commander of the squadron, were two of the first people at the scene of the crash.
The photo below shows Rangi in his CAP uniform. He has several ribbons. I'll try to take a close-up photo of them at a later date and have Rangi explain the meaning of each. I have been told what they mean but have to confess I can't remember all of the details
