History of the Patch

	CO-143 Mile Hi Cadet Squadron Version 2a

The patch was designed in 1991 by Cadet Don Lear, Cadet Dave Anderson, and 1st Lt Pete Rousseau.

The mountains in the background denote the Denver Metro region's landscape, and the three planes with contrails denote the three missions of Civil Air Patrol. The original version of the patch used silver thread for the aircraft contrails, whereas the second batch ordered in 2000 from a different manufacturer used gray thread.
