allow veterans and servicemen not in uniform to salute the flag. Current law (US Code Title 4, Chapter 1) states that veterans and servicemen not
in uniform should place their hand over their heart without clarifying whether they can or should salute the flag.
"The salute is a form of honor and respect, representing pride in one's military service," Senator Inhofe said. "Veterans and service
members continue representing the military services even when not in uniform. "Unfortunately, current U.S. law leaves confusion as to
whether veterans and service members out of uniform can or should salute the flag. My legislation will clarify this regulation, allowing veterans
and servicemen alike to salute the flag, whether they are in uniform or not. "I look forward to seeing those who have served saluting proudly at
baseball games, parades, and formal events. I believe this is an appropriate way to honor and recognize the 25 million veterans in the
United States who have served in the military and remain as role models to others citizens. Those who are currently serving or have served in
the military have earned this right, and their recognition will be an inspiration to others."
This Bill was passed July 25, 2007. Let your veteran friends know about the Passage of this Bill.
