A suspension of eight South Carolina National Guard helicopter pilots has been lifted. The pilots were suspended after a low-flying sweep over beachgoers during a July 4 event.

The event, known as "Salute from the Shore," is a tradition honoring servicemembers in South Carolina. It features military aircraft flying along the state's shoreline to spark patriotism among beachgoers.

Further details about the suspension and the event are available from the Pentagon and other sources. The lifting of the suspension was announced by a Pentagon spokesman on social media, who wrote that the suspension was lifted effective immediately.
