CAP Sunday

"CAP Sunday/Sabbath. In 1972 the CAP National Board designated the first Sunday in December as CAP Sunday. Soon after that, the Saturday before was added to the celebration for those whose day of worship is Saturday. The weekend commemorates the fact that CAP was chartered by the U.S. Congress on December 1, 1941. CAP Sunday/ Sabbath gives CAP chaplains and MLO's an opportunity to acquaint their churches with their ministry as CAP chaplains. Sometimes units may choose to support their chaplain by all worshipping in the same place, and in uniform. Other units encourage members to attend the church or synagogue of their choice in uniform. This is an excellent opportunity to take the message of aerospace to non-CAP members. For chaplains, it is also an excellent opening for telling their religious bodies about the importance of moral leadership in CAP."

"There are no established requirements but the occasion might be marked by asking a CAP cadet squadron to serve as honor guards to position the flags during a church service or to have a CAP chaplain speak or present a CAP program to a church group."
