"The design was developed in early 1970 and was the product of Colonel John J "Jack" Herbert, USAF, Commander of the Northeast Liaison Region, along with Major Leonard A Blascovich, CAP, Director of Cadets Northeast Region. Colonel Fred Bamberger, USAFR, Northeast Region Reserve Assistance Coordinator, had a professional drawing made for use as a master in the manufacture of the emblem as a patch. The drawing and the patch was approved in September 1970 by Colonel Edwin M Lyons, CAP, Commander Northeast Region, thus making this the Official Emblem of Headquarters, Northeast Region, Civil Air Patrol."
