Gen. Amy Courter, CAP’s national commander. “This reflects greatly upon our 61,000-plus members, who work diligently in their communities to serve their fellow citizens.” The mission is an international Evangelical missionary organization. The prize honors individuals who contribute to the cause of world peace. Past recipients include President Reagan. The award ceremony will take place June 14 in the US Capitol building.
