On Sunday May 15th CALS member Robert Schapiro (a Captain in the US Army Reserve) took command of the DC National Guard Unit "D Co 1-224th" a Medevac Unit. Rob has been a paramedic with CALS for the last decade and is a man of many traits. Rob has not only served his country as a US Army reserve Blackhawk pilot, he is also a US Park Police officer and pilot. Rob has dedicated his life serving others and CALS was honored to be present to show support for our member at his change of command ceremony. CALS members joined Rob's wife, family, friends, and soldiers as he took charge of his new unit. CALS is proud to be able to support a member that "helps others".
