The Salute Newsletter - Winter 2009
Vets can now salute the flagFor years, Veterans have wanted to salute the U.S. flag during the Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem instead of just placing their hand over their heart. Now they can. A Congressional Amendment sponsored by Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009 specifically states that “members of the Armed Forces and Veterans who are present but not in uniform may render the military salute.” Veterans can salute the flag during the National Anthem as well as during “the hoisting, lowering and passing of the flag.” “The salute is a form of honor and respect, representing pride in one’s military service,” said Inhofe. “Veterans and service members continue representing the military services even when not in uniform. The U.S. Code is now consistent for Veterans and all service members in regards to the symbolic gesture of the military salute.”

It's unfeking believeable that we'd even waste time and taxpayer money on this nonsense!!!

Should have been a no brainer!

Believe it or not, surprisingly enough, no

But that's what I first thought when I heard about this a year or so back.

I'd hate to be the enterprising young officer that made that charge

Now that we've wasted enough $$ and time on something that should never have been an issue....what about the economy!!?????

(think they could act as well on that?)
