Great photo, terrible title... the President was there for all 13, not just one.

Legitimate question, as I am unaware..:

The ones on the left, specifically those not in uniform have hands on hearts. All of those wearing uniform, are saluting. Is there a general rule of thumb about saluting if not in uniform, or not active duty? Biden being the Commander in Chief, could he have done either one, even though he isn't active service and not in uniform?

Those that serve will always have my respect and love.
