AMERICA SALUTES
AMERICA SALUTES is a national broadcast which honors and recognizes the high school graduates who have enlisted into the U.S. Armed Forces.
With a star-studded cast, messages from military generals and heroes, musical performances, and more, this is an experience for you and your family to support our nation’s newest and youngest patriots.
AMERICA SALUTES
We’re celebrating 16 years of being the first to say thank you to the young men and women who choose to make a Constitutional commitment. When they take the oath to defend our freedom, it’s about more than a preference, a person, or a political party - it’s the decision to selflessly serve our great nation.
Hosted by Pete Hegseth, combat veteran, bestselling author, co-host of FOX & Friends Weekend, and avid supporter of OCS, this 30-minute broadcast will highlight the best of AMERICA SALUTES and will also include memorable moments from star-studded guests, honorable military leaders, musical performances, and more.
OUR HISTORY OF SPECIAL GUESTS AND SPEAKERS
AMERICA SALUTES unites people across industries and professions, including our military heroes, veterans, active service members, their families, and even celebrities.
Some of our distinguished guests who have supported our mission to be the first to say thank you have included:
