Respect. Honor, Executed by th junior member to the other, Identifying a timeless practice of a way to Say ,"I trust you, Greetings done going in and coming out, A sense of recognizing a superior And saying we do not run away from the battle,, A sense of saying, "We are in this togther".A sense of Unity ,

PO3 William Carrien this is not a great way to look at it. a salute isn’t a sign of respect for the person. it’s a sign of respect for the rank. for me, regardless of whether i personally like or respect a superior officer, i don’t shy away from or try to avoid a salute. by the same token, i gladly return salutes rendered to me.

Well said…I was both enlisted and later, an officer. I witnessed both sides of the sometimes confusing salute!

As a civilian family member nothing was more powerful than the salute given to my mother in dad’s funeral. I think it is more than just respect. In that moment it said that they acknowledged my dads service. That he was important. That his mission was done.
I think as an outsider observing that when a subordinate salutes a higher officer they are acknowledging the superior’s rank and responsibilities. The salute back is a thank you and acknowledgement that they could only be where they are because of the teamwork of the subordinate.
