Patriotic Re-enlistment on Patriot Day

CAPE MAY AIRPORT — Naval Air Station Wildwood Aviation Museum (NASW), located at the Cape May Airport, proudly hosted Aviation Boatswain’s Mate Second Class (AB2) Jennifer Woznick as she dedicated herself to six more years of service with the US Navy. AB2 Woznick began her enlisted career with the US Navy on Sept. 11, 2007, initially serving on surface vessels that work to transport, maintain and operate the different missions of the United States Navy, but has since moved on to aviation.
“It is an honor to have this reenlistment ceremony at Hangar # 1,” declared NASW Chariman Dr. Joseph Salvatore, who watched on as Jennifer’s father, Naval Construction Mechanic Second Class (CM2) Timothy Woznick, spoke to gathered friends and family about his daughter and her service. “It is ceremonies like this that really fulfill our mission here,” Dr. Salvatore concluded.
Acknowledging the significance of Sept. 11, all participants and spectators shared in a moment of silence, at AB2 Woznick’s request, to honor the lives lost in the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001. Upon AB2 Woznick’s reenlistment, Chief Warrant Officer Lee presented Jennifer’s father, CM2 Timothy Woznick, and grandmother, Ms. Patricia Carlson, with a Certificate of Appreciation on behalf of the United States Navy. The ceremony was brief and touching. The museum would like to thank Ms. Woznick for choosing NASW to share her special day.
Cape May Airport was formerly Naval Air Station Wildwood, which served as a World War II dive-bomber training center. The museum is dedicated to the 42 airmen who perished while training at Naval Air Station Wildwood between 1943 and 1945.
