It is a military tradition to render a hand salute when encountering someone wearing the Medal of Honor. This is done irregardless of rank.

I attended Squadron Officer School in the Fall of '68. One of my classmates was a Thud driver with two Air Force Crosses!

What really knocked our socks off was one particular Dining Out, (where wives are invited!). There, in the receiving line, was an officer who was wearing his lettuce but what stood out was that little blue ribbon with the stars.

Ain't many people wearin' that thing and walkin' about. Hand Salute!
