I am an avid reader of the newspaper.
I saw the photo of the president and other GIs saluting in Dover to welcome the military men home.
I was deeply impressed by the president's salute, but I thought the GIs with him were extremely slovenly in their salute. I am a retired master sergeant with 22 years' service. I relearned the proper way to use the salute when I attended the NCO Academy. I'm still so gung-ho when I see military men and women use the salute I get a lump in my throat.
I am impressed with the president's military bearing even though he is a civilian with no previous military experience.
