FYI

Should you salute if you never served?

A provision of the 2009 Defense Authorization Act changed federal law to allow U.S. veterans and military personnel not in uniform to render the military hand-salute when the national anthem is played. ...

Still, even then it doesn’t mention civilians saluting…
so please, don’t salute if you haven’t served.

I read a short story on bing about two of our soldiers in Berlin and a our Vice President drove by them. One asked the other if they were suppose to salute and his friend said he wasn't for sure but to be on the safe side they should salute out of respect. So they saluted and the then Vice President saluted back. It made their day. So I think if a soldier salutes the Vice President he'll salute back if nothing else out of respect.

Okay, it's in The Book.

I still take off my hat and/or place my hand over my heart.

Don't really need to let others know I'm a vet.

I know.

I don’t know why you’re addressing that to me. I served.
