Join the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse on Sunday, August 9th at 1:00 pm, for a virtual online zoom presentation, WWII along the Coast of Volusia County, Florida. This unique Spirit of 45’ Day program will only be offered virtually due COVID-19. Spirit of 45’ Day is a national day of observance that celebrates the sacrifices of the men and women who helped the United States bring World War II to a successful conclusion. In 2010, Congress voted unanimously in support of the official day to coincide with August 14, 1945, the day President Truman announced that WWII was over and America’s leadership in rebuilding the postwar world. WWII along the Coast of Volusia County, Florida will explore what life was like in Volusia County during WWII and the area’s many contributions to the war effort. The online presentation will be facilitated by Mike Bennett, Director of Operations and John Mann, Lead Docent at the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse.
