To Salute, or not Salute

[Gatorade]

I always looked at a salute as a military exchange. The last salute I was taught was Boy Scouts. I would look at it as appropriate in most uniforms, Military, LEO, Fire Rescue, Scouts that sort of thing. Retired or non active military have carte blanch in my book, they earned the right to decide for themselves. All the rest of us I would say hand over heart or if given a salute by one of the above groups then appropriate to acknowledge that sign of respect and salute back.
