T&i :- I Salute You

By Joseph Kravis on November 10, 2017 • ( 0 )

There are many types of salutes. Salutes are used to show respect, greetings and confidence. Different items are used in salutes. 21-gun salutes are performed to honor fallen military members where cannons or rifles are typically used to show that honor. And, most people don’t realize that the 21-gun salute’s tradition lays with the Navy. To show no hostile intentions all guns were fired out to sea. Perhaps symbolically we should do that with other arsenals.

(en.wikipedia.org) contains some nice explinations on salutes if you so inclined on reading. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salute , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/21-gun_salute.
