Webmaster's Response:

::HAND SALUTE::

And lest the civilians be confused, please note:

In the military, the hand salute is a demonstration of mutual respect between servicemembers. Protocol dictates that the lower ranking member salute first and that the higher ranking member return the salute. Regardless of who initiates the exchange, both giving and receiving the hand salute are high honors allowed only to the military. Veterans retain the privilege when they return to civilian life so they may honor one another, the service, and our country's flag.
