We are proud and honored to share the final video from Salute from the Shore II! We are so grateful to the 77th Fighter Squadron, 20th Fighter Wing from Shaw Air Force Base as well as all our partners and sponsors who helped make the event such a huge success.

Salute from the Shore II was an amazing day and we are truly humbled by the number of people who came to the beaches to honor our armed forces on Independence Day. We have been overwhelmed by the amount of support for this patriotic tribute, and have received an incredible amount of pictures, videos and stories from people who were able to participate.
Thanks to everyone who was a part of Salute from the Shore II, and many thanks especially to the 77th Fighter Squadron “The Gamblers,” Town of Pawley’s Island, PGBA and all of the wonderful people and sponsors who helped make Salute from the Shore II such a memorable experience.
We sincerely regret that a safety concern prevented the Flyover from reaching Hilton Head. The FAA was included in the planning process as were the incredible professional aviators from the 20th Fighter Wing, but the airspace was not clear enough to allow a safe flyover. We are already working to see how this can be avoided next year, and we hope the patriotic people of Hilton Head will be able to take part in this wonderful event next year.
We are hard at work on our official video tribute and plan to release it in August. We are excited by all of the footage and can’t wait to share this with everyone around the world!
We will also announce a winner of the Salute from the Shore Best Beach Display Contest very soon, so stay tuned!
To our armed forces and their families around the world, we thank you for your service and are honored by your sacrifice. It is because of you that we are able to salute you from the very shores you work to protect!
Many thanks to the 77th Fighter Squadron “The Gamblers” of the 20th Fighter Wing at Shaw Air Force Base, some of whom are currently deployed overseas. We dedicate this Salute to you and your families!

WHERE IS THE SALUTE? The Salute will be visible from every beach in South Carolina. It will start at the NC state line at 1:00 and fly south, ending at Hilton Head Island at 1:20. However, be sure to arrive early to prepare your Salute so we can capture you on video from the Air! Helicopters will be filming certain areas starting as early as noon.
