49. Veterans in civilian attire may render a military salute when the national anthem is played.
Mon Feb 10, 2025, 08:54 PM
Feb 2025
36 U.S. Code § 301

(b) Conduct During Playing.—During a rendition of the national anthem—

(1)when the flag is displayed—
. . .
(B) members of the Armed Forces and veterans who are present but not in uniform may render the military salute in the manner provided for individuals in uniform; and

(C) all other persons present should face the flag and stand at attention with their right hand over the heart, and men not in uniform, if applicable, should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. . . .


Trump is not a veteran. He should not render a military salute.
