Nice!  That's the future right there! :tup:  Must be future Army grunts because Marines don't salute without covers on!LOL! :chuckle:  All joking aside that's great you're teaching your son the importance of Old Glory and how to show respect for her!  Keep up the good work dad and it'll all pay off!

Good catch Plateau :chuckle: :chuckle:  That's actually the "Scout Salute" as its called.  Each day's activities begin and end with the raising and lowering of Old Glory and the boys all know how special it is. 

Thank you for your kind words, they are sincerely appreciated  :)

We use to do some pretty cool flag ceremonies when I was a kid in boy scouts. Brings back good memories. Thanks for sharing :salute:
