Which man doesn't salute at the tomb of the unknown soldier?
He wouldn't wear an American flag on his lapel during the presidential campaign and now it seems he can't bring himself to salute at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The man is the Commander In Chief of our armed forces. The least he could do would be to salute the person representing all those soldiers who died for our country.

Sorry, but I have a problem with anyone not in uniform saluting. Add in the fact that he's never served in the military, and it's doubly so.
Although he could of put his hand over his heart. Did he do so at anytime?

Placing your hand over your heart is the appropriate salute for someone in mufti. Notice the man to the right in civilian clothes has his hand placed over his heart. The Commander In Chief should not just stand there with his hands hanging in front of him.

I agree. Why is his hand not on his heart???? Unbelievable.
A decidedly un-presidential moment.

It is not nit p;icking when the poresident can't even bring himself to place his hand over his heart while at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on Veteran's Day. It shows a complete lack of respect for the men and women who gave their lives for their country.

Let's keep pretending that wearing a flag pin makes you patriotic.
