Vets can now salute the flag
For years, Veterans have wanted to salute the
U.S. flag during the Pledge of Allegiance and the
National Anthem instead of just placing their hand over
their heart. Now they can. A Congressional Amendment
sponsored by Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) in the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009
specifically states that “members of the Armed Forces
and Veterans who are present but not in uniform may
render the military salute.” Veterans can salute the
flag during the National Anthem as well as during “the
hoisting, lowering and passing of the flag.” “The salute
is a form of honor and respect, representing pride in
one’s military service,” said Inhofe. “Veterans and
service members continue representing the military
services even when not in uniform. The U.S. Code is now
consistent for Veterans and all service members in
regards to the symbolic gesture of the military salute.”

e-Directory
Increased participation in the e-Directory – The e-Directory http://www.auxedirectory.org/index.php , is a valuable tool whose full potential has not been realized because of lack of member participation. Many members have not entered email addresses or have not activated them by logging into the directory and activating their account. This is especially important for Staff Officers. There is a pretty good (and short) PowerPoint presentation on using in the National I Dept’s “How to Library” http://home.auxidept.org/howto.htm . |
