Memorial Day - A day to give Thanks


Memorial Day, originally called the Decoration Day, is a United States Federal Holiday observed in the memory of all those who died in the nation's service. It was formerly called the decorative day as the day is observed by decorating the graves of those soldiers who readily sacrificed their life for the country and countrymen.


To respect the men and women who gave lives for their country, The National Memorial Day Concert is conducted at the west lawn of the United States Capitol. The Memorial day is observed at Arlington church by ceremonial lacing of the national flag on the graves. It is also a custom for the president or vice-president of the state to give a speech honoring the dead by mentioning their contribution to the country. Local Memorial Day parades are also conducted at many cities and towns by members of community organizations like Rotary Clubs, Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts.


Take some time this Memorial Day to give thanks to the people who fought for all the things we have - and most importantly, our FREEDOM!

Opening Our Lone Star Office - Behind the Scenes

East Coast Air Charter has been busy moving freight, setting up a new office in Denton, TX, and creating Executive Video Profiles for our http://www.eastcoastaircharter.com/ website.

As the economic recovery continues, East Coast has enjoyed strong demand for our air charter management services. Activity related to the supply chains of automotive manufacturers has been particularly strong, as many of the automakers are seeing strong demand for their products after an extended period of weakness.

East Coast Air Charter is very pleased to have opened our Southwest Regional Operations office in Denton, TX. This operations office currently houses office space for David Gutierrez and Anna Heyen! It was a pleasure having the team all together for the opening week!

It's an exciting time here at East Coast Air Charter. Our manager of Business Development, Rehan Hyder, has been tasked to create a new look and feel for our East Coast Air Charter website homepage. Along with the new look and feel we are adding several new sections. Our goal is for our customer and vendors to have a website to access for the latest information on Air Charters. One of our new sections will be "Meet the Team." The Statesville Headquarters team went to Texas at the end of April for a Video Shoot. Below are some of the pictures of us on set. Coming up soon, our Texas Operations Staff will venture out to their video shoot! Break a leg guys, I know you will do great!
