A 98-year-old World War II veteran took quite a ride on Saturday. Walter Alesi, a resident of Stuart, joined the Marine Corps out of high school after the attack on Pearl Harbor.  Alesi and four of his brothers served in World War II.

Alesi was gifted a flight from Stuart's Witham Field in a Boeing Stearman biplane courtesy of Dream Flights. Dream Flights is a non-profit organization dedicated to “giving back to those who gave”.  The Dream Flights organization was established and dedicated to honoring seniors and military veterans.
