special dispensation for saluting the flag?

A reader asks:

I know a veteran in my town who states that he was given a special dispensation for saluting the flag from someone at Luke Air Force Base, Glendale, Arizona.

Is there such a thing?

Well, I'm not sure. What sort of "special dispensation" is he talking about?

With the passage of this new law, veterans are granted the right to salute the flag when not in uniform, under certain circumstances. So there would be no need for a "special dispensation" for saluting the flag, as all veterans have this right.

Is he talking about something that existed prior to the enactment of the new law?
