Can soldiers in civilian clothes salute a fallen comrade memorial?

I work at the VA, I always render a final salute to all those that fought their final battle! Some of my veteran coworkers said they don’t salute in door, I feel that this is a special occasion and warrant the slow salute.

I was wearing my Vietnam Veteran hate and an immigrant saluted me and thanked me for my service so I would say that a salute shows respect. Any time any were when showing respect.

Showing respect to our fallen brothers and sisters transcends any regulations.

YES

This should not ever be an issue .
It is purely a matter of respect

Thank You for the question. I had not much thought about it before. Navy does not salute uncovered, and covers are removed when going indoors, thus no salutes indoors. But now, as a civilian, veteran, my response is "Why not?" I have followed the hand over heart custom, with hat in hand if present. I have been ashamed of those who did not show respect. Now, it finally occurs to me, thanks to the question, that actually anyone can hand salute, for any reason. To show respect. (Any rules existing for active duty folks could be observed, mostly, of course.)

Not like you going get arrested or anything. You want render that salute just salute.

Hell yes.. A soldier is a soldier as it goes as much as that person has military / spirit ..es spree decore..

there's a video of former Sec of State George Schultz talking about saluting the war cemetery of Leningrad during diplomatic talks.

If you served in the Military, it’s okay and respectful to salute with your hat on!! You are not only being respectful, it’s about respect and perfectly legal!! Doesn’t matter even if your wearing civics!!
