Retirees and Vets Allowed to Salute Flag

Military.com sent this report

Week of November 16, 2009

Traditionally, members of the veterans service organizations render the hand-salute during the national anthem and at events involving the national flag while wearing their organization's official head-gear.

The National Defense Authorization Act of 2008 contained an amendment to allow un-uniformed servicemembers, military retirees, and veterans to render a hand salute during the hoisting, lowering, or passing of the U.S. flag.

A later amendment further authorized hand-salutes during the national anthem by veterans and out-of-uniform military personnel.

This was included in the Defense Authorization Act of 2009, which Former President Bush signed on Oct. 14, 2008.
