Spirit of '45 Day

Join Us for the National Spirit of '45 Day
August 11, 2013

National

Spirit of '45 Day will be observed during a wreath laying ceremony at

the 30th Street Station on Market Street in Philadelphia to honor the

men and women of the World War II generation.  The ceremony will take

place at 3:00pm on Sunday, August 11, 2013 in front of the 50 ft WWII

memorial that stands in the main concourse of the 30th Street Station.  

Keep

the Spirit of '45 is a non profit initiative to preserve the legacy of

the men and women of America's Greatest Generation so that their example

of courage, self sacrifice, "can do" attitude and national unity can

inspire a renewed sense of community in America at a time when our

country is once again facing historic challenges.  

The goal of

the initiative is to promote public awareness and participation in an

annual national day of remembrance to remind America of the values and

accomplishments of the generation who endured the hard times of the

Great Depression, fought to defeat the greatest threat to freedom in

history, and then went on to rebuild the postwar world in an

unprecedented effort to help assure a better future for both friend and

former friend alike.

Please join the Honor Flight team at the

ceremony on August 11, 2013! All are welcome!  We would love to see you

there!
