Lee was amongst eight veterans honored from Mesa Valley Estates Senior Living, a Mission Senior Living neighborhood positioned in Mesquite. This is the neighborhood’s fourth 12 months partnering with Dream Flights.
“You’re never too old to dream and you’re never too old to have a day, just for you, that’s full of magic and the people you love,” mentioned Mission’s Vice President of Operations, Sarah Green. “With Dream Flights, we’re enhancing the lives of our residents and recognizing our nation’s veterans for their service and sacrifice.”
Dream Flights pilot volunteers have given almost 6,000 Dream Flights since 2011. Last 12 months, Dream Flights honored 891 World War II heroes throughout a historic 61-day Operation September Freedom Tour, the primary and final nationwide occasion to honor members of the best era, mentioned (*93*).
Dream Flights concludes its 2022 Tour on Saturday, Nov. 12 on the First Annual Veterans Appreciation Day at Castroville Airport, 10500 Airport Road. Beginning at 9:00 a.m., Dream Flights will honor veterans, the oldest 91, who served in Vietnam, Korea and the Cuban Missile Crisis, with Dream Flights in a restored open-cockpit biplane.
Dream Flights are at all times free to veterans and their households. The nonprofit based mostly in Carson City, Nev., depends on the generosity of sponsors, together with Sport Clips Haircuts, company donors and particular person donations to cowl the price of working and sustaining its fleet of 6 Stearmans. Donations could be made by way of Dream Flights’ Facebook. Visit www.dreamflights.org or watch “Dream Flights Journey” on YouTube.
