Do you salute any veterans wearing military, unit and or campaign head gear?

There were a bunch of people who got their nose out of joint at seeing vets salute in civilian clothing. So the law was to overcome that. Just a nice gesture.....

PO2 Skip Kirkwood - Unfortunately some veteran organizations have gone too far and are saluting during the Pledge of Allegiance.

You might find yourself working with veterans at some point i the future in volunteer work like I did. For thirty years I did not salute anyone. I found myself saluting Vietnam and Gulf War veterans I was working with. Not out of obligation, but out of respect for their military and humanitarian sacrifices as civilians.

I've found a few people I've worked with or at my church who are veterans; both enlisted and officers. Neither of us have felt that saluting one another was a sign of respect. In this sense, I am a Veteran and I connect faster and easier with fellow servicemen/women than others. During an initial meeting I have thanked and been thanked for service. That is enough. While I have met a lot more military in random encounters since 2009 (June) when I got out, not ONE has expressed anger or required me to address them per rank or salute.
We don't all think and act alike and there are some bad soldiers/vets out there. Even so, they cannot force me, as a Vet to salute them or refer them by rank. I do it out of respect from MY service and experience that I got while I was in. I know each of us have our own experiences and emotions to what we went through. We have a few Vietnam Vets at the church. I thanked them in the same way.
We have a Food Giveaway every Wed. afternoon at the church. One guy and his wife come through the line to get food. They are both elderly. He is a Vietnam Vet. He and I get along really well and he has little issue in talking about his experiences as I do with him. He calls me by my first name and vice versa. We both thanked each other upon our initial meeting and nothing else was needed. Too often, the younger people fail to realize just how things are because of them and us.
I do not require nor expect that type of respect. My favorite hat has U.S. Army on it; usually prompting someone to ask if I served. I state the obvious and thank them for their support. YES, I know this is lengthy, but there's reason.
Without the support of the American people while we were gone, most of us would have been affected quite negatively. Random strangers thanking you, is showing their support so, in my opinion, you should give the same to them. Most don't know how to beyond a 'thank you' and want to do more. Most Veterans I have met and know don't want the outlandish recognition. We want to know that 'here' and our 'way of life' is preserved by all who covet and cherish it.
I did salute a fallen Marine that came home to my hometown. It was on the news, following the plane's landing and his final journey home. The funeral home and local Police office is within walking distance from my house. My nephew wanted to go so the both of us went ahead of time. Both sides of the road was blocked off by police so the motorcade could get through easily. When he arrived, I noticed that I was not the only plains clothed person saluting. In my opinion and gut feeling, Veterans would salute in this instance of any other.
To each his/her own, but if someone requires it of a Vet, someone has taken their rank way too far.

I saluted when they played taps at my Dad's funeral. Anyone have a problem with that ? Oh, & I don't think I looked ridiculous.

SPC Brian Mason, it sounds like you don't really think it looks ridiculous to to render a military-style salute out of uniform as a simple gesture of respect - not required or mandated by a bunch of politicians, just offered when the mood suits.
