New to the Greer Memorial Hospital Freedom Blast is Patriots Pointe, an area to celebrate the U.S. Armed Forces and patriotism in general.

Covering the northern section of Greer City Park around the pond, Patriots Pointe will include the top entries in the city's student mural competition sponsored by Langford Electric,  a display of military vehicles in the McKown Center parking lot, and a local chapter of the Rolling Thunder Motorcycle organization, which was formed to remember U.S. prisoners of war.

Patriots Point is also the place to be for live patriotic music beginning at 4:30 p.m.  Beginning at 5;15 p.m., it will be the site for the presentation of colors, a flag retirement ceremony, and the moving Missing Man Table Ceremony to honor missing members in all branches of the Armed Forces.
