MANASSAS, VA At Prince William, we are surrounded by members, seniors and cadets, who contribute to our mission through their time utilizing their skills, knowledge base, and experience. We are a unit of legacy. Capt Tom Mariani has been a member of Prince William Composite Squadron since 2011 and has served as our primary Aerospace Education Officer since June 2012 and as an Assistant Director of Aerospace Education to the wing since February 2015. Capt Mariani is a retired NASA Aerospace Engineer giving 36 years to our nation’s Space Program with historical highlights to include the Apollo missions. He is a NASA Legend! He has been awarded the Frank G. Brewer, Sr. CAP Aerospace Award for his many years of advocacy for both seniors and cadets. Our annual award for Aerospace Education is a credit to his expertise and management. Capt Mariani and his bride of more than 50 years are moving to New Jersey to be closer to their family. We will sorely miss his cheerful presence and passion for aerospace education and engineering as a member of Prince William.
Tom, you’ve been a great friend to us all! Clear skies and tailwinds, Sir!
