The Salute from the Shore is a unique opportunity for individuals, friends, and families to salute our armed forces while celebrating Independence Day on South Carolina beaches. Our role is to organize and promote a military flyover on the 4th of July that will stretch the entire length of South Carolina’s coast. We will capture as much footage of the flyover as possible, from the air and from the ground, for inclusion in a video that will be posted for all to see.
Our Vision Is to create an accessible opportunity for South Carolina beachgoers to honor our armed forces by organizing a “Salute from the Shore” of a military flyover of the entire South Carolina coast each Independence Day. Our vision is to unite participants in a synchronized Salute to our troops that will be shared across the nation and around the world
On July 4th, 2010, the first “Salute from then Shore” was witnessed by hundreds of thousands of people. The inaugural flyover — assisted by a C-17 from Charleston AFB — resulted in an overwhelming outpouring of personal messages, stories and support from those who participated. Touched by the emotional reaction to the event, the organization resolved to grow the event.
We are a non-profit, grassroots group of patriotic South Carolinians who simply want to honor our armed forces. We recognize it is because of their service and sacrifice that we are able to celebrate our freedom from the very shores they endlessly strive to protect.
