The Spirit of ’45 is an all-American-style summer community event that honors the service and sacrifice of our senior veterans and celebrates the end of World War II. In partnership with Dream Flights, each year we support our senior veterans with complimentary flights in restored WWII-era Boeing Stearman biplanes.The Vital Life Foundation with Dream Flights has sent 127+ senior veterans to the skies so far. We look forward to continuing our mission in 2025.
