Lt. Col. Bonnie Braun accepted her CAP retirement certificate from North Central Region Commander Col. Thomas Theis at a recent informal gathering.

Lt. Col. Braun served as a CAP volunteer for almost 36 years. She held various positions at different levels, the latest being on North Central Region staff. She earned recognition from Appreciation Certificates (fifteen!) to National Drug Demand Reduction Officer of the Year to Commander’s Commendations, Meritorious Service Award, Exceptional Service Award, and two National Commander’s Awards.

Featured in CAP’s Spring 2023 Volunteer Magazine in the article “Vietnam Veterans Still Serving Americans”, Lt. Col. Braun spoke about joining CAP. She said, “I find camaraderie and friendships within CAP. When I started, I never thought I’d be region chief of staff, but members have always supported me.”
