Veteran's Corner

New Veteran Saluting Laws

Retired Soldiers are Still Proud! Congress has put Still Saluting into law for Retired Soldiers and other veterans. The 2008 National Defense Authorization Act (Public Law 110-181) changed -- which covers "Conduct during hosting, lowering or passing of flag." "During the ceremony of hoisting or lowering the flag or when the flag is passing in a parade or in review, all persons present in uniform should render
the military salute. Members of the Armed Forces and veterans who are present but not in uniform may render the military salute. All other persons present should face the flag and stand at attention with their right hand over the heart, or if applicable, remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Citizens of other countries present should stand at attention. All such conduct toward the flag in a moving column should be rendered at the moment the flag passes."

FDA Community Grants Program & Process

The Fan District Association expects to have a limited amount of funds available each year to support civic associations, schools, garden clubs, and non profit foundations whose activities benefit the residents and neighborhoods encompassed by the FDA. In recent years we have provided grants for tree planting, to purchase permanent refuse containers, for street signage, to renovate the fountain in Monroe Park, and to enhance public school programs.
