The flag if you see, the music if you don't.

I cannot bring myself to render a hand salute in civilian clothes and especially without a cover on the gourd. Marines never salute uncovered and we don't salute in civilian clothing. I know there was some sort of edict put out that "authorized" veterans to salute in civilian attire, I just cannot do it. I do put the hand over the heart and assume the potion of attention.

Cpl Jeff N. - "I do put the hand over the heart and assume the potion of attention." the way I was taught, that is a salute, just civilian version. Thanks for your service.

But I do stand at attention and try and face in the direction of the flag.

Not with a military salute. I put my hand over my heart but haven't done this in some time since I don't work on post anymore.
