Keystone Light and the USO have brought back the Smooth Salute program to encourage fans to send messages of support to their local service members. The Smooth Salute program kicks off with Military Appreciation Month in May and runs through July 31. During this time, fans can scan the QR codes on the new Keystone Light Stars and Stripes packaging to send a message of gratitude to our service members. Fans who send a message will be entered to win the grand prize sweepstakes and Keystone Light merch.
“As a longtime partner of the USO, Keystone Light has always valued the hard work and sacrifice of our service members,” says Allison Miller, Keystone Light marketing manager. “After the success of last year’s program, the brand is excited to bring back the Smooth Salute program and give fans an easy way to show up for their local service members.”
Keystone Light is offering five grand prize flyaway trips. Winners will receive a trip for themselves and up to three guests to witness our nation’s heroes in action at a regional airshow. The experience includes travel and hotel accommodations, and a full itinerary. Regional airshows will take place in:

In addition to the thematic packaging, Keystone Light has extended its summer Smooth Salute program with customizable retail display tools featuring “Proud to Support the USO” messaging. Keystone Light and the USO have also rolled out a co-branded merch line, inclusive of a hat, t-shirt and a sticker for fans to purchase to show their support of our service members.
