sporting events. Wouldn't it be great to see a bunch of the people in
the stands saluting! -Carl Madsen)

New Veteran Saluting Laws

Retired Soldiers are Still Proud! Congress has put Still Saluting into
law for Retired Soldiers and other veterans. The 2008 National Defense
Authorization Act (Public Law 110-181) changed -- which covers
"Conduct during hosting, lowering or passing of flag." "During the
ceremony of hoisting or lowering the flag or when the flag is passing
in a parade or in review, all persons present in uniform should render
the military salute. Members of the Armed Forces and veterans who are
present but not in uniform may render the military salute. All other
persons present should face the flag and stand at attention with their
right hand over the heart, or if applicable, remove their headdress
with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being
over the heart. Citizens of other countries present should stand at
attention. All such conduct toward the flag in a moving column should
be rendered at the moment the flag passes."
