WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe (R-Okla..) today praised the passage by unanimous consent of his bill (S.1877) clarifying U.S. law to allow veterans and servicemen not in uniform to salute the flag. Current law (US Code Title 4, Chapter 1) states that veterans and servicemen not in uniform should place their hand over their heart without clarifying whether they can or should salute the flag.
"The salute is a form of honor and respect, representing pride in one's military service," Senator Inhofe said. "Veterans and service members continue representing the military services even when not in uniform.
"Unfortunately, current U.S. law leaves confusion as to whether veterans and service members out of uniform can or should salute the flag. My legislation will clarify this regulation, allowing veterans and servicemen alike to salute the flag, whether they are in uniform or not.
"I look forward to seeing those who have served saluting proudly at baseball games, parades, and formal events. I believe this is an appropriate way to honor and recognize the 25 million veterans in the United States who have served in the military and remain as role models to others citizens. Those who are currently serving or have served in the military have earned this right, and their recognition will be an inspiration to others."
This Bill was passed July 25, 2007. Let your veteran friends know about the Passage of this Bill.
Last time I checked this site was free and anyone could start a Thread on anything they wanted as long as it wasn't offensive. Sure this subject is everywhere today including the Threads, but you are not the web police, and it is not your place to tell people what they can and can't write about.
And BTW.........I don't want to argue with you about it either.....
Just realize how strong we could be as a people on this earth if we ALL were tolerant of each other and truly LOVED and RESPECTED each other.............What a beautiful Dream............
There will be no "Mudslinging" or arguing here. It goes against everything this thread is about............
Who cares where you are from, what language you speak or what color your skin is? My heart is in the same place in my chest as yours. My blood is the same color red as yours. My eyes see the same beauty and evil of the world as yours do. And, deep down inside, we ALL know that we have been brothers and sisters since the beginning of time.......
