I often wonder how people just dream up this stuff going about their every day lives.
Perhaps some of us have served our country… unlike you!
Unless you are just trying to put down good old Obama then what drives you to dig this stuff out?
Civilian salutes
Gestures such as tipping one's hat when passing another on the street can be considered salutes of an informal sort. In the United States, civilians salute its national flag by placing their right hands over their hearts when pledging their allegiance to the flag or hearing their national anthem, The Star-Spangled Banner. (Men remove any headgear and hold it over their hearts, if applicable.) In Latin America, especially in Mexico, a salute similar to the United States military's salute (see below) is used, but the hand is placed across the left chest with the palm facing the ground. The same salute was instituted in Albania as the "Zog salute" by King Zog I. In most countries, such as the United Kingdom and Canada, civilians do not salute the flag, although some may stand at attention when a national anthem is played or the national flag raised or lowered. At the Last Night of the Proms, people of various nationalities with their national flags wave their national flags when singing along the British national anthem, God Save the Queen.
