Today marks 79 years of the U.S. Navy Blue Angels—nearly eight decades of aviation excellence, precision, and inspiring service. At the Blue Angels Foundation, we draw from that legacy every day. The values demonstrated by the Team—discipline, dedication, and teamwork—are the same values that guide our mission to support veterans facing the invisible wounds of war, including post-traumatic stress and the transition to civilian life.
