Which item is included among those to salute according to naval etiquette?

• A. NOAA
• B. Medal of Honor recipients
• C. Colors
• D. Foreign military officers

Answer: (B)

Saluting in naval etiquette is a sign of respect shown to those who carry special status or honor. Medal of Honor recipients are included because this decoration is the United States’ highest military award for valor, and all service members render a salute as a mark of respect for the extraordinary acts of courage and sacrifice those individuals have demonstrated. This tradition reflects the high esteem in which they are held across the armed forces. Civilian agencies like NOAA aren’t subjects of naval salutes in routine practice, and Colors refers to the flag honored during ceremonies rather than an individual to salute; foreign military officers may be saluted in certain contexts, but the most universally recognized recipient among the options is Medal of Honor recipients.
