Pete Occhialini From: Website: E-mail: tanker@dmrtc.net	When I first entered the Army I was told that the salute was a sign of respect. I find it totally appropiate to salute and will do so from here on out. I also consider it appropiate to salute those on active duty today when ever I see them. Regardless of their rank.

Tom Miller From: Website: E-mail: HQ66Tom@schach.org	I used to salute sometimes, and place hand over heart sometimes. Now, I only salute. To me, as a former soldier, it is more respectful to salute our veterans and retirees. Added: May 7, 2006
