That puts a damper on the whole thing. Why should you only be allowed to salute just your contacts, I think that actually diminishes it as an accolade. What can be better than receiving a salute or accolade from someone you do not know?Response by SSG Robert Webster made Jan 24 at 2018 5:28 PM2018-01-24T17:28:43-05:002018-01-24T17:28:43-05:00SFC Greg Bruorton3289804<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I'm all for the salute feature on this site as I've always rendered salutes to all contacts that merits them.
