Honor guard
members (Cadets Matt Prokosh, Dan Hereth, Geoff Schmidt, Ryan
Renfrew, Schuyler Strough and Tyler Kulesa) performed the
“posting of the colors” by raising the American Flag along with
the traditional Coast Guard flag and pennants at the Sylvan
Beach Coast Guard Auxiliary annual base opening ceremony.
Our cadets
performed the ceremony with an armed contingent of Revolutionary
War re-enactors from the local area. These men, dressed in
Revolutionary War era uniforms, carried a replica of the first
rendition of the American flag.

| The squadron participated in the
Whitesboro Memorial Day Parade. It turns out we were the
only military component present at the parade and were
positioned just behind the Grand Marshal.

| Utica cadets participated with
members from Syracuse and Fulton squadrons in the first
joint-squadron bivouac in several years. We spent the
weekend down in Highland Forest near Cazenovia, NY learning
compass orienteering, land rescue techniques, map reading, field
survival and shelter building. The weekend was a bit
"chilly" but ended up quite enjoyable.
Many thanks go to the staff at
Syracuse Cadet Squadron for putting the event together. We
look forward to many more joint activities in the coming years!

were? Cadets Roczen and Strough (shown here) were
accompanied by cadets Kulesa, N., Kulesa, T., Hereth, Schmidt,
and Rice assisted with preparation, execution and cleanup of the
event. - 5
