With Veteran's Day approaching I'd like to remind veterans about some changes in federal law in 2008 & 2009.
Veterans (and active duty military) in civilian clothes now have the right to render the military hand salute when:
1. The national anthem is played
2. The flag is raised or lowered
3. The flag passes in review
This is as opposed to the civilian salute of placing one's right hand over one's heart. If you are wearing a hat, and render the hand salute, the hat stays on.
