Keystone Light and the USO are bringing back the Smooth Salute program to encourage and reward fans to send messages of support to their local service members. Last year’s Smooth Salute program generated messages of gratitude to all 114 participating USO centers nationwide.
The Smooth Salute program will kick off with Military Appreciation Month in May and run 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,” said 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 (3) guests to witness our nation’s heroes in action at a regional airshow. The experience comes complete with travel and hotel accommodations, and a full itinerary for a smooth experience on-site. Regional airshows will take place in:
- Chicago Air & Water Show in Chicago, IL (Aug 16-17, 2025)

In addition to the thematic packaging, Keystone Light is extending its summer Smooth Salute program with customizable retail display tools featuring “Proud to Support the USO” messaging.
