Respect. Honor, Executed by th junior member to the other, Identifying a timeless practice of a way to Say ,"I trust you, Greetings done going in and coming out, A sense of recognizing a superior And saying we do not run away from the battle,, A sense of saying, "We are in this togther".A sense of Unity ,

I don't actually agree with that. Respect is something that is earned, not just given to someone. I have served under officers that have earned my respect and some that haven't. If I saw one I respected, I would continue toward them and salute. If I saw one that I had no respect for, I would alter my course so as to not disrespect them and not having to salute.
PS. I was Navy.

PO3 William Carrien this is not a great way to look at it. a salute isn’t a sign of respect for the person. it’s a sign of respect for the rank. for me, regardless of whether i personally like or respect a superior officer, i don’t shy away from or try to avoid a salute. by the same token, i gladly return salutes rendered to me.

Well said…I was both enlisted and later, an officer. I witnessed both sides of the sometimes confusing salute!

As a civilian family member nothing was more powerful than the salute given to my mother in dad’s funeral. I think it is more than just respect. In that moment it said that they acknowledged my dads service. That he was important. That his mission was done.
I think as an outsider observing that when a subordinate salutes a higher officer they are acknowledging the superior’s rank and responsibilities. The salute back is a thank you and acknowledgement that they could only be where they are because of the teamwork of the subordinate.

Saluting is show respect to the rank of an officer and or other time showing respect to a person

SFC Clifford Brewer That's how I look at it. It's the rank I respect but not necessarily always the person wearing it. But the salute is required by the General Orders so that is what you do, like it or not.

I agree..and it can go beyond the General Order as a respect to the person no in uniform
for example I am a member of our (Civilian) retiree group mix offers and enlisted and we we salute each as a respect not as what rank he or she wore but respect to the person.

Mutual respect and courtesy. While the initial obligation to salute is on the junior, the senior then becomes obligated to return it.

That I agree with !00% and always make a sharp proper salute and that should always be mutual which the majority of time it is.
