🌟 Meet our incredible resident Wes Yates, a proud Navy veteran who enlisted just before World War II came to an end. After boot camp in Great Lakes, he was later deployed to San Francisco. Although his mission was cut short with the war's abrupt end, he served on a Navy container ship, collecting leftover munitions from the Pacific Islands.

Throughout his life, Wes has always been envious of pilots, dreaming of flying planes. Thanks to the the amazing program Dream Flights, sponsored by Consonus Healthcare and the Vital Life Foundation, he recently had the opportunity to soar through the skies in a restored, WWII-era biplane!

Wes feels honored to have served his country and continues to inspire us all. Join us in celebrating his remarkable journey!
