207 Entries for “salute”

  1. He was military, that much was for certain. Despite the lack of uniform, you could see it in the way he held himself, shoulders back and chest forward, arm curved and ever ready for a potential salute.

  2. Soldiers standing outside the great house, guarding their Queen, and hoping for that one special chance to greet her personally.

  3. Raise the flag and salute the deluded ones that fought a war that iosn’t ours to fight. salute those who died for politicians who hide away in a room and call themselves heroes.

    TITTIES!!! ~ Daniel Tosh

  5. The hands flew up and flew down on command. The guns sounded. The flag was folded. I was proud of them. And they would never know.

  6. Salute? Salute who? I’ll salute whoever I damn well please. Fuck you, man. Maybe I’ll salute no one. Maybe you should salute me. I salute nobody, that makes me above everybody.

    Thomas Dorton

  9. If I could take back all the letters, I would. All those hurtful things I said, like bullets in a gun. I wish I could take back all the pain I caused you, all the grief. I wish I’d stopped you at the airport before you had to leave…

    You are my one and only soldier, wherever you are. I salute you.

  10. While I am sitting at home watching TV, there is a man or woman overseas fighting for me. While you are walking across the street to grab a tall latte at Starbucks, there is an American solider who just took a bullet for you. As I eat a home-cooked meal, there’s a corporal who just opened up a care package from loved ones. As you text a friend asking to meet up for dinner, a crackled telephone from an Army husband or wife is the only thing to keep a solider sane. This 4th of July – thank a soldier. Give them a salute. They fight so we can be free.

  11. hello how are you ten hut bonjour salut army captain polite nice ahhh

  12. She raised a trembling hand to her forehead. She swallowed back her tears. She shouldn’t be doing this, her mother had said. Not for her father. You can’t present a folded American flag to yourself.

    But she did it anyway. She had to.

    The mahogany coffin gleamed dimly. She liked to think it was her father reminding her how proud he was.

    So she prayed.

  13. Saluting is used for only the bravest of people. Be it soldiers and policemen. However, I also salute people I know will be going into a lot of stressed shitty times.

  14. I’d like to salute all the soldiers, all the mothers, and all the fathers. The generation of souls who laid down their lives for our welfare and who continue to do it now.

  15. Indeed, sir. You have done a fine job here. These soldiers line up perdier than any I have seen in my many long years of service to our fine nation.

    The general cringed. Three soldiers down, he spotted Leonard . . . his uniform, slightly creased, his buttons, slightly smudged. If the Corporal saw this, he’d have the general’s head . . ..

  17. A salute is only but a single gesture, but the meaning behind it is great. Give your salute to what’s worth it. Give it to those who mean a lot to you.

  18. Give your salute to what you feel is worth it. It’s just a gesture, but it says a lot. It says too much…
    Stand up straight, and salute for what you believe in.

  19. Goodbye high school.
    Goodbye dance studio (and non professional dancing).
    Goodbye to this house I have lived in forever.
    Goodbye people I have known forever.

    Time to salute to new university experiences that I can’t wait for.

  20. I saluted to the man in front of me. He worked harder than any other person on the face of this earth and all he did was fight for the freedom we all have today.

  21. I salute you on you inability to do anything. You don’t understand half of what I say and I fear it is simply because you do not wish to. Hope whatever you do pleases you, because I am done trying to please you.

  22. i salute you, complete me as you do, with every single second of your dreaming and pouted lips diving deep with iin my soul

  23. To all of you soldiers out there, I salute you. You do the things most Americans are too afraid to do- and you get little thanks for it. Yes we have a day for you, but how many teenagers like myself stop to think about what we’re really celebrating besides a day off? To all of you soldiers out there, I salute you.

  24. Salute, a two fold word. On one hand, very America. Salute the flag, the troops. On the other hand, very Italian. Heard during toasts everywhere in Italian homes.

    Joe Alessi
  25. There are a number of ways to salute, and it always – ALWAYS – bothers me when I see people who don’t salute properly. And that’s just after four years of JROTC. Imagine if I were in the *real* military.

  26. Cap’n, I salute you. Your bravery is well above that of the mediocre sorts we’ve seen so frequently on board these past few years. Few men could wrestle a tuna with chopsticks the way you can.

  27. Salute. Grüß mir die Tante und die Oma. “Dales un abrazo de mi parte.” Ständig wird überall geküsst und umarmt. Und ich fühle mich abgeschnitten von mir selbst. Ich mach das ganze Theater mit. Den Tanz der Gewohnheiten. Damit sie wenigstens die Illusion haben, dass alles wie immer ist …

  28. He saluted his country, his face lit up with a bright smile as the leader rode past the streets in his shining new car. Everybody cheered and cried as the leader passed by, bringing his hand to his chest and extending it in a salute to everybody around him. He thought it was for a good cause; he hadn’t realized that the genocide of millions of innocent people made him nothing more than a tyrant.

  29. I want to salute my father who was in the military. The word salute to me has a lot of meanings. The first one that comes to my mind is the flag. One independence day everyone must salute the flag as it flies over our heads. Then the other meaning

  30. This is what a soldier does to a commanding officer. It shows respect and authority. I grew up with this gesture. Very common as a Navy Brat

  31. There were times when the snap of hand was something that made him cringe. A gesture born from the eternally old ways of the military, but somehow different and new now. It was as though he couldn’t think when someone placed fingertips to brow in such precision. He was thrown back to a time when things were simpler and gunfire was flying over his head.

  32. I salute you and your joy for life. July 4th is the time to salute our independence and salute the flag. We who must die salute you.

  34. Salute to your chief. The very person that guards you from harm. Return the favor. Guard your Guard.

  35. Saluting the flag. My old friend’s mom just sent us a brochure about how to correctly salute the flag and when to display it and stuff like that. Apparently we aren’t doing it properly.

  36. your shorts…salute! salute! salute is on fire!!!!! salutaions, no bleeding don’t give an…..

  37. Don’t lift your hand to salute me, I’ve done nothing worth respect. I left you on the porch with nothing but sadness. I didn’t touch you or wish you the best, I just left. I’m sorry.

  38. I gave him one more salute before I walked away from the grave I made for him the night before in my back yard. His uniform was still in my living room, wadded up but overall stainless and perfect. Ha! I know what I’m going to be for Halloween this year, maggot!

  39. I saluted at my dad as he was cooking on the grill Father’s Day…that man can grill a rack of ribs that will make your mouth all kinds of happy. He is a whiz on the grill.

  40. I was supposed to salute him. I froze. He was my father and not worthy of the honor. I just couldn’t.
