Remarks by Lieutenant General Lee K. Levy II, USAF, at the Georgia House of Representatives on 17 February 2016.  At the end of his speech, Lt Gen Levy (an Alumnus of the Sandy Springs Cadet Squadron, CAP) states:

"Georgia has a long tradition, and I have a long tradition as a fellow Georgian, which you may not know, and that's why I speak so passionately about this.  Not only having commanded at Robins [AFB] for two years as a one-star General, I am actually in this uniform because of the state of Georgia.  I lived in Atlanta in 7th, 8th, and 9th grades.  I went to Guy Webb Elementary, Sandy Springs Middle, and North Springs High School.

I was part of the Sandy Springs Cadet Squadron, Civil Air Patrol, at a time in my life when I could have easily been distracted by fumes:  car fumes and perfumes [background laughter] ...  and ended on a path that may not have led to this day. But because of the citizens of Georgian who supported and nurtured me, I went on to join the United States Air Force, and through fate and divine providence have ended up here today."


We're Honored, General Levy!
