Supporting Veterans in Our Community
Charleston and its surrounding islands are known for their rich history, coastal charm, and strong sense of community, and that spirit shines even brighter on Veterans Day. From heartfelt tributes aboard the USS Yorktown to local runs, golf fundraisers, and moving flag displays, the Lowcountry offers countless ways to honor those who have served. Here are five meaningful Veterans Day events happening across Charleston and the Islands this year, each a chance to celebrate, give back, and connect with the heroes among us.
Isle of Palms Exchange Club – Veterans Day Field of Flags in Isle of Palms
Since 1948, the IOP Exchange Club has served the community through Americanism and service programs. On Veterans Day they display American flags in honor of heroes; sponsorships help fund local causes. A powerful visual tribute—rows of flags honoring service members and loved ones.
Patriots Point Veterans Day aboard the USS Yorktown in Mount Pleasant
Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum preserves and interprets U.S. naval history aboard the USS Yorktown, USS Laffey, and the Vietnam Experience. On Veterans Day, they invite the community to honor service members with on-site tributes and museum access. Aboard an iconic aircraft carrier, this is one of the Lowcountry’s most meaningful ways to honor veterans.
