MAY
We Salute You Celebration
The We Salute You Celebration is held annually aboard
the Combat Center. The purpose of this event is to
recognize those who sacrifice so much to serve our
country. There is specific attention given to each unit
stationed aboard MCAGCC; including those who are
deployed, those who are training for deployment, and
those who have returned from combat and security
operation in the Middle East. We also pay special
tribute to the fallen with a moment of silence and
remember the heritage of the Marine Corps with an
Iwo Jima flag raising reenactment.
Through honoring our Marines and Sailors with this
event we are given an opportunity to bring the families
of our Combat Center community together. One of the
most anticipated attractions is a performance by the
Marine Corps Combat Center Band. With games for all
ages and displays honoring the fallen, the We Salute
You Celebration is a day filled with patriotic pride.
The main event is a family friendly free concert. In the
past well known artists such as Foreigner, Big and Rich,
Montgomery Gentry, Gretchen Wilson, and in 2011,
Julianne Hough and Joe Nichols have performed at
this event. These popular artists draw large crowds
and always put on an inspired and memorable show.
The We Salute You Celebration attendance totals over
12,000 and offers many sponsorship opportunities.
Associating your business with this patriotic, family
fun event is a great way to increase your visibility and
recognition aboard the Combat Center.
