Can soldiers in civilian clothes salute a fallen comrade memorial?

Not only can you my Brother, even before the Defense Dept Act. of 2008, many Veterans organization Members Displayed full Military Salute. I have many dear friends who are officers and, unfortunately, I need to remind them that, my Oath doesn't say to blindly follow them.

To clarify my prior post, I was dealing with some emotional issues which led to my rambling on about nothing to do with this original post.

Rendering a hand Salute to our fallen is not only correct, it is the ultimate sign of respect from all of us who have served.

Every Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day I visit the best Fighter Pilot I ever flew with. I bring him a beer and cigar and we enjoy them together. I salute when I arrive and again when I depart. Feel free to honor tour friend the same way.

Yes. That's what made our Country so great and is so because of what heroic men and women have put their lives on the line to make it as great as it is. GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Yes, absolutely. That is what Military tradition is all about.

Before the NDAA of 20008, when I was in civilian clothes, I'd salute during the playing of the National Anthem, taps and military fuenerals (spelling). K felt I owed it to my fellow veterans and they deserved it. My father among them too.

YES!

Every time I run, I pass a Korean War Memorial. As I pass, I send a silent thank you for their sacrifice and I pop a salute. I don’t care about the legalities of it, I am honoring and respecting those who sacrificed for us. If that is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

Yes, I mean It’s nice to find out that what I’ve already been doing is legal. It never even crossed my mind that it wouldn’t be. Obviously it needs to be proper and with respect.

Seriously, they had to write a law to make it legal?

Your heart will tell you what is right.

I have no problem with it...
