Spirit of '45
Through our partnership with Dream Flights, a VLF Charitable Partner, senior veterans received the ride of a lifetime during VLF's Spirit of '45 celebrations. Over 50 seniors took flight in either a Boeing Stearman bi-plane or a fully restored vintage Douglas DC-3. The joyful day kicked off with a ceremony that honored the multiple generations of service members in the audience and the crowd who gathered to honor those who served in the military.
