Salute From The Shore - SC 4th of July Tradition

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. On July 4th, 2010, the first “Salute from the 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. Now in its 15th year, it shows no signs of slowing down! 

At 1:00 p.m., F-16s from McEntire Joint National Guard Base will make their way down the coastline, beginning at Cherry Grove in North Myrtle Beach and ending in the Beaufort/Bluffton area in the Low Country. Following the active military aircraft will be an all-volunteer brigade of Warbirds, a civilian-owned and flown vintage plane community that will include T-34s, T-6s, and T-28s (plus a few other varieties, weather permitting). As all aircraft make their way down the coast, time between planes may extend up to 45 minutes as airspeeds vary significantly among the vintage planes.

We recognize and applaud the sacrifice these (on-duty and off-duty) pilots have made to fly on a holiday and in support of this event. We hope you enjoy the afternoon on the beach as you create and post your "salute" to our active and retired military personnel worldwide on this special day. #SFTS2025

We need your help! Support Salute From the Shore by doing any or all of these things:

• Head to the South Carolina coast by 1:00 p.m. 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 choose.
• 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. 
• Tell us what you think! Send your comments to jilla007@gmail.com. We will capture as much footage of the flyover as possible, from the air and the ground, for inclusion in a video that will be posted for all to see.
