Law Changes on Flag Salutes when OUT OF UNIFORM,

Most recent changes, authorizing hand-salutes during the national anthem by veterans and out-of-uniform military personnel, were sponsored by Sen. Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma, an Army veteran. It was included in the Defense Authorization Act of 2009, which President Bush signed on Oct. 14.

The earlier provision authorizing hand-salutes for veterans and out-of-uniform military personnel during the raising, lowering or passing of the flag, was contained in the National Defense Authorization Act of 2008, which took effect Jan. 28, 2008.
