Dream Flight Squadron Leader
Every year, Dream Flights’ historic journey across the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave honors close to 800 senior veterans with free life-changing flights in restored, WWII-era open-cockpit biplanes.
A Dream Flight is more than a free thank-you flight; it’s a magical, life-changing experience for veterans who fought for our freedom and way of life and now believe the best part of life is behind them. These men and women are America’s finest.
Veterans like Eddie Lamken who had lost his zeal for life and had taken to a wheelchair. He seemed to have lost interest in anything around him, including family. When his son Dave suggested a Dream Flight, Eddie remained uninterested and showed no excitement. When the day arrived and the flight was done, Dave could see Eddie was smiling ear-to-ear. With very little assistance Eddie climbed out of the cockpit, down the stepladder and, as he stood with his cane, he was so happy he started to cry.

My heartstrings are tied to Dream Flights’ mission. I’ve seen veterans after their Dream Flight, and you can’t describe what you see in their faces. It’s more than a smile; it’s their spirit leaping from within. My monthly recurring donations sponsor one Dream Flight a year. This is my way of giving back, and I know, firsthand, that my donation is supporting a good cause.
