"Remember ... and be inspired." Spirit of '45 is an alliance of organizations and individuals that are working together to preserve and honor the legacy of the men and women of America's WWII generation so that their achievements and values will continue to inspire future generations - especially the youth of our nation. Spirit of '45 Day is now being observed on the second weekend in August, coinciding with the anniversary of August 14, 1945 - the day that spontaneous celebrations broke out around the world at the news that the most destructive war in human history was over and America immediately began laying the foundations for a better future for its children and their children's children, for both its friends and allies and former enemies. Spirit of '45 Day Message Dr. Roscoe C. Brown, Jr. March 9, 1922 - July 4, 2016
This year marks the beginning of a series of 75th anniversaries of important events that took place during World War II.
