Can soldiers in civilian clothes salute a fallen comrade memorial?

I grew up in a military family, raised around a military post, and served in the military myself and I have always seen veterans salute the fallen no matter what the laws say. It is a show of respect for those who served their country, especially those who made the ultimate sacrifice. It is something that is lacking in today's society. People are forgetting and not being taught where their freedom really came from.

Once a soldier always a soldier. Once taking the oath it never expires. Be blessed

I am a retiree of 20 years service to this country and the U.S. Army. I salute each and every time I damn well feel like it and dare any SoB to stop me.

We have earned the priviledge to Salute a fallen brother/sister. I can no longer fit into my uniforms do to injuries and illness so I wil SALUTE and show my LOVE and RESPECT for my brothers/sisters.

Yes

Since the dust was blown off this old thread and that particular Memorial is in my area gotta respond,

Got to that memorial every Veterans Day and Memorial Day for the last 3 years, I Salute my fallen Brothers and Sisters in Arms

Life is Fleeting
Separation Temporary
Reunion Eternal

The last thing I said to my Grandfather as he passed away, was "Godspeed Sir." I went to attention and rendered my salute. He was an Airforce Veteran. I was not in uniform, though I was still in the Army reserves at the time. I considered it not only appropriate, but my duty to honor him.
That is the only time I've ever rendered a salute out of uniform. Other than during the Reviell or Retreat on a military installation or during the playing of the national anthem. I understand that some people are picky about regulations, but in the end, the salute is a military honor, given out of respect. It's a tribute, not just something given within regulations.

I salute for the national anthem when in civilian clothes. No one has ever said anything to me for it. It's my choice and out of respect for all who have died for it or served it.

Of course! I will do it only while wearing a cap that identifies me as a Veteran. Other wise I hold my hand over my heart. Just my thing.
We have a Memorial Day Parade every year at my local town. All the Vets will stand and salute when Old Glory passes by. I am surprised that most civilians don't get up. My favorite part is when the VFW and American Legion floats go by. The Vets riding on the float will search the crowd for other Vets and will render a personal salute to those in the crowd. I always try to give them my best in return!

The VSM in my ribbon rack says I can salute any time I want.
