Take part in the 10th annual Salute from the Shore on Thursday, July 4th and participate in the opportunity to salute our armed forces during a military flyover along the entire South Carolina shore in a synchronized salute that will be shared online across the nation and around the world.

A flyover of vintage planes to salute the armed forces will be over Hunting Island and Fripp Island Beaches at around 1:50pm on Thursday afternoon.

This year will include a flyover of F-18s from Marine Aircraft Group 31 from MCAS Beaufort.

 

  • Head to the South Carolina coast at 1 PM on the 4th of July.
  • Go “BIG!” Get a huge flag or get creative. Then GET TO THE BEACH on the 4th of July in all your red, white and blue!
  • Record your Salute on camera and share it with the world – on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, a blog, or any other place you want.
  • Photos of the aircraft are great. Photos of people Saluting aircraft are better.
  • Tag your Salute images and videos with #SalutefromtheShore
  • Make it personal. Whether you love someone serving overseas or remember a fallen hero, share your tribute. You can do that on this page: http://salutefromtheshore.org/share-your-salute.

 

The 10th Annual Salute from the Shore will begin at 1pm on July 4th in Cherry Grove, SC, just north of Myrtle Beach. The vintage aircraft will follow behind the more modern aircraft, and are much slower and more affected by headwinds.

It’s always best to arrive early and be patient.
