Default Re: New Law Allows Retirees and Vets to Salute Flag

I definitely agree that it should be a moot point but officially, unless you were in uniform you were not allowed to render a hand salute to the flag under any cicumstances. Hopefuly, they will qualify the hand salute during the National Athem, Pledge of Allegiance, Honors (i.e. Taps), or any other saluting situations.

Now you can.

I always do when I raise the flag in my yard. Now I can all of the time.
