Is it ok for a civilian to salute a soldier?
|
Often times I will see a National Guardsman or other military personnel (active or veteran) while out in public. Is it ok or proper to salute said soldier or veteran?

Unless you are a veteran yourself - a salute is a breach of protocol.
Much better to simply thank them.

Why wouldn't it be okay? This is America. |

you wont get hauled off to jail or anything but you might get chuckled-at(not outright laughed at, a couple steps down from that) |

I think that a lot of soldiers would take it like you are teasing them or mocking them. Just say Thank You that's the best thing! |

There is a movement afoot to show respect and honor the Military members and Veterans. Place you right hand over your heart as though you are reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. Slowly (but not TOO slowly) drop your hand down to your right side. I've seen some sites that refer to this as the Honor Salute. |

I do it all the time.
Although even if you are a soldier, you aren't supposed to salute 'uncovered' (without your hat on).
I don't expect them to return the salute - although a few have. |

Why not, as a civilian you can do what you want. I would see it as a sign of respect and it don't get better than that. If you saluted me, I would return it. |
