The Spirit of ’45 Day, is a national holiday observed annually on the second week of August to commemorate the end of World War II and to include younger generations in honoring the service and sacrifice made by the veterans of the Greatest Generation, and beyond. In partnership with Dream Flights, each year we honor our senior veterans with complimentary flights in restored WWII-era Boeing Stearman biplanes. In 2026, we are excited to expand our event to serve more veterans in multiple cities across the nation.

Get involved with the Spirit of ’45 events to honor the service and sacrifice of our military heroes with all-American-style picnic lunches, inspirational ceremonies, live music performances.
