Corrected entry: Gunny Highway is a Medal of Honor recipient. Everyone salutes a MOH winner regardless of their rank, this would have been the case several times but especially at the party where they were in their dress uniforms.

Correction: While it is a tradition for salutes to be rendered to Medal of Honor recipients regardless of rank, it is not a requirement. There is no law, regulation, or standing order requiring that salutes be rendered by superiors to those of a lower rank who have been awarded the Medal of Honor. Moreover, such salutes would only be rendered when covered, which, except for certain ceremonial occasions, would not be the case for Naval and Marine service members when indoors.
