8620

By Senators Honeyford, Hargrove, Hatfield, Hill, Becker, Bailey, Parlette, Kohl-Welles, O’Ban, Mullet, Dammeier, Brown, Fraser, Billig, Braun, Keiser, Conway, Hewitt, Warnick, Ranker, Padden, and Schoesler

WHEREAS, The Civil Air Patrol was commissioned December 1, 1941, just days before the attack on Pearl Harbor, for the purpose of liaison flying and interdiction of infiltrators on the East Coast and southern border of the United States, and thereafter the Civil Air Patrol insignia, a red three-bladed propeller in the Civil Defense white-triangle-in-blue-circle, began appearing; and

WHEREAS, When German submarines began to prey on American ships, the Civil Air Patrol's mission grew to include a 1,000-member coastal patrol, 64 of whom died in service and 26 of whom were lost at sea; and

WHEREAS, After a crew was forced to watch in vain as a grounded submarine off Cape Canaveral, Florida escaped before the military arrived, Civil Air Patrol planes were issued bombs and depth charges, and thereafter the Civil Air Patrol coastal patrol flew 24 million miles and found 173 submarines, ultimately attacking 57, hitting 10, and sinking 2; and

WHEREAS, By presidential executive order, the Civil Air Patrol became an auxiliary of the United States Army Air Forces on April 28, 1943, and several months later the Germans withdrew coastal U-boat operations "because of those damned little red and yellow airplanes"; and

WHEREAS, On December 10, 2014, the Civil Air Patrol was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in honor of the founding members' role in protecting our coasts against deadly German U-boat attacks during World War II and carrying out other vital wartime missions; and

WHEREAS, The Congressional Gold Medal marks the first major recognition of the volunteer services by the men, women, and teenagers who joined the Civil Air Patrol to serve their country during World War II; and

WHEREAS, Richard Hagmann and Warren Davis are residents of Washington State and among the fewer than 100 founding patrol members believed to be alive today, and are joined by James Campbell and Gordon Ebbert, who both recently passed away; and

WHEREAS, During the postwar years, the Civil Air Patrol was put to work in search and rescue missions, saving the United States millions of dollars in operational costs as the only organization with the equipment and training to perform this vital job, with military aircraft being far too expensive to operate and flying too fast to accurately spot downed planes and personnel; and

WHEREAS, During the deadly 2014 Oso mudslide, the Civil Air Patrol flew vital supplies to areas unreachable by heavier aircraft, and ground teams helped to evacuate cities and towns; and

WHEREAS, The Civil Air Patrol has a cadet program with over 23,000 participants between the ages of 12 and 20, one of its major attractions being its aerospace program, which provides both classroom and practical instruction in flight and rocketry, and offers each cadet the opportunity to participate in orientation flights in both powered and glider aircraft while learning search and rescue techniques and other valuable skills, emphasizing military history, leadership, and service within the squadron and to the community as a whole; and

WHEREAS, Over 16,000 students in kindergarten through 6th grade completed the Aerospace Connections in Education program developed by the Civil Air Patrol and the United States Air Force; and

WHEREAS, Today's Civil Air Patrol continues its service and commitment to our state and country with three primary missions: Aerospace education, cadet programs, and emergency services; and

WHEREAS, In Washington State alone, the Civil Air Patrol is composed of approximately 725 senior members and 604 cadets, who flew their 11 aircraft 2,100 hours in 2014 alone in service to our state, at a value of 3 million dollars in volunteer hours; and

WHEREAS, The Washington Wing was ranked first for hours flown per aircraft among all wings in the Civil Air Patrol Pacific Region, which includes wings from Alaska, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington, and was ranked 14th for hours flown per wing out of the 57 Civil Air Patrol units nationwide;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Washington State Senate recognize the Washington State wing of the Civil Air Patrol for its courageous and unwavering dedication to our citizens; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution be immediately transmitted by the Secretary of the Senate to Colonel James P. Furlong, Commander of the Civil Air Patrol Washington Wing.

Senators Honeyford and Warnick spoke in favor of adoption of the resolution.

MOTION

On motion of Senator Habib, Senators Frockt and Liias were excused.

The President declared the question before the Senate to be the adoption of Senate Resolution No. 8620.

The motion by Senator Honeyford carried and the resolution was adopted by voice vote.

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT

President Owen: “At this time the President would like to invite Senator Honeyford to the rostrum for a special presentation. Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate, It is the President’s great privilege to present some remarkable and outstanding Americans to you. The Civil Air Patrol members being honored here were just private citizens who wanted to lend a hand. They also lent their planes, their two-way radios and their replacement parts. They weren’t pressed into serving – they saw a need and stepped up when their country needed them. World War II may have turned out much differently if not for the men and women of the Civil Air Patrol [CAP]. The Congressional Gold Medal is awarded to persons ‘who have performed an achievement that has an impact on American history and culture that is likely to be recognized as a major achievement in the recipient’s field long after the achievement.’

This is the highest civilian honor that Congress can bestow and we are proud and honored to participate in awarding these medals.

Our first honoree is Richard A. Hagmann, of Spokane. Richard A. Hagmann was a member of the Tow Target Unit No. 12 and Southern Liaison Unit 2, having joined March 6, 1942, in southern California after learning about CAP through the friend of a friend – Lt. Colonel Stephen Patti of the California Wing. He served as a mechanic during the war and was on ‘active duty’ at the border of Mexico. There he was assigned to a CAP unit in El Paso, Texas, at the rank of CAP staff sergeant. He donated $700 (later repaid) to CAP to get a base started there. The members of the base were getting drafted so quickly that the base was in danger of being closed, but the officers worked a deal whereby joining the Army Air Force Reserve meant the members wouldn’t be called up. When the base closed in 1944, Richard was sent back to San Diego until May 11, 1944, supporting planes that towed targets. Years later, Lt. Colonel Patti re-established contact with Richard and introduced him to the Washington Wing. The wing got Richard to rejoin in December 2013. Upon doing so, he was honored with the Exceptional Service Award, promotion to lieutenant colonel and life membership.”

Mr. Hagmann was presented with the Congressional Gold Medal by Senator Honeyford and the President of the Senate as authorized by the United States Congress Public Law 113-108, 128 Statute 1159 on May 23, 2014. Mr. Hagmann was recognized by the senate.

“Our next honoree is Warren B. Davis of Seattle.

Lt. Colonel Warren B. Davis joined the Tacoma Squadron Civil Air Patrol in 1942 at Muller-Harkins Airport in south Tacoma. His father, who served in the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War 1 and moved to Tacoma in 1919, used to rent a plane and go flying with him as a child. While working at McChord Field as a civilian instrument mechanic, Warren heard about CAP, which offered him a chance to fly and to obtain fuel for doing so. He was on Group II staff in eastern Washington for a while. He transferred to the Seattle Squadron and became the Commander in 1960. He served as a very active CAP pilot, flying search and rescue missions, searchlight target missions and cadet orientation flights over Grays Harbor. He was escort officer on the foreign exchange to Turkey and the Netherlands. He also was escort officer to Jet Orientation School. Warren participated in Hands Across the Border with Canada. He took many Air Force Institute extension courses which was open to CAP members and included aircraft repair, instrument repair and photography. He later worked for Boeing for 47 years. Warren transferred to Tukwila Squadron and Renton Squadron and is still a member of the Renton Composite Squadron. He still takes classes and gives talks to Cadets on the ‘early days’ of the Civil Air Patrol.”

Mr. Davis was presented with the Congressional Gold Medal by Senator Honeyford and the President of the Senate as authorized by the United States Congress Public Law 113-108, 128 Statute 1159 on May 23, 2014. Mr. Davis was recognized by the senate.

“The third honoree is Gordon Ebbert of Moses Lake, who is also deceased and represented here today by his family.

Gordon Ebbert grew up in Monmouth, Oregon. He started taking flying lessons in 1929 at age 16 and soloed in nearby Salem, Oregon in 1933. He helped organize the Patrol’s Bremerton Squadron two weeks after Pearl Harbor was attacked. After war was declared, Gordon was assigned to fly antisubmarine patrol along the West Coast between Alaska and San Francisco, California. On one of these flights near Port Angeles he and his observer spotted a Japanese torpedo that had launched from a submarine and abandoned. On another occasion he spotted a Japanese single plane diesel engine powered airplane which was retrieved by Naval Intelligence. He also flew courier service for the Navy during WWII. In his aviation career Ebbert logged over 11,000 flight hours, served as a captain in the U. S. Air Force Reserve and was twice named Interim Commander for CAP’s Washington Wing. Along the way while running his own machine shop business he found time to help establish the pilot training program of Big Bend Community College in Moses Lake and served as mayor of that city. He received a Pilot Proficiency Wings Program Phase XV Award and the Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award from the Federal Aviation Administration. Master Sergeant Gordon Ebbert served in Lieutenant James Campbell’s Civil Air Patrol Squadron as a training officer.”

The Congressional Gold Medal awarded to Mr. Ebbert posthumously was received by Mr. Peter Nelson on behalf of the family of Mr. Ebbert. The Medal was presented by Senator Honeyford and the President of the Senate as authorized by the United States Congress Public Law 113-108, 128 Statute 1159 on May 23, 2014. The Ebbert family was recognized by the senate.

“Our next honoree is James H. Campbell of Redmond, who is deceased and represented here today by his family

Civil Air Patrol Lieutenant James H. Campbell was born in 1911 in north Seattle and graduated from Lincoln High School in 1928. During the war he was a flight instructor at Boeing and a Western Wing Commander for Western Washington in the Civil Air Patrol, which led to actively flying his own plane until 88 years of age. He organized the Bremerton Squadron two weeks after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor during the Second World War. James went on to be the unit’s first commanding officer.”

The Congressional Gold Medal awarded to Mr. Campbell posthumously was received by his daughter Mrs. Patty Dutt on behalf of the family of Mr. Campbell. The Medal was presented by Senator Honeyford and the President of the Senate as authorized by the United States Congress Public Law 113-108, 128 Statute 1159 on May 23, 2014. The Campbell family was recognized by the senate.

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT

President Owen: “It is certainly rare for any citizen of this great country to be awarded a medal that is the highest civilian award that a person can receive. It would be a great honor for us if you would stand and be recognized one more time by a grateful Senate. Please stand and be recognized. Thank you.”
