  • The USS Ranger (CV-4) was named to commemorate five U.S. warships that had previously borne the name "Ranger" meaning "one who wanders; military scout." CV-4 was the first U.S. warship designed and built from the keel up as an aircraft carrier.

  • We celebrate volunteer Siew Chinsee for all her contributions as a volunteer 👏! She is an energetic contributor both to our Midway's safety team – going above and beyond the call of duty, and she also serves as a Citizenship Tutor – Midway volunteers who support local students, at the Community College District, who are pursuing citizenship. 
We are grateful to Siew for her ability and willingness to make these meaningful connections. Her skills as a (retired) special ed teacher from the Sweetwater Union HS District and being bilingual make her an incredible resource.
