Example Salutes:

Businesses, civic organizations or churches: 20 minutes – 1 hour salute where participants salute the entire time or in short increments.  Set up a time for members of your organization to meet together and salute.  Send a calendar invite ahead of time to the entire organization, or grab a few of your co-workers midday and head to the flag for a 3-minute salute.

Schools:  Either before, during, or right after school, conduct a 10-15 salute for the student body.  During the school day, make it optional for classes to take part, or assign classes a unique 3-minute time so there is a 1-2 hour continual salute.  If before or after school, combine it with a flag raising or lowering.  Reach out to Scouts at your school or local police or fire departments to lead the flag ceremony.

Fire Departments, Police Departments or Military installations: Join in remembrance of all your fellow first responders that lost their lives that day saving the lives of others by joining in a salute in front of your location.  Choose a time that works for your group and come together in formation around your flag.

Scouting group: Whether it is your meeting night or not, meet up at a public flag location in your community.  Invite families and other community members to join you.  Invite your local fire fighters, police officers, EMS responders, and veterans groups in your community.

You and who you are with:  Whether you are at work, with friends and family, or another location with people, grab the people you are with for a 3-minute break.  Head to your closest flag and salute.  No planning, just joining in ad hoc.

If possible, consider holding the salute corresponding to the times of the strikes on September 11, 2001.  The first strike was on the World Trade Center North Tower by Flight 11 at 8:46 am, followed by Flight 175 into the South Tower at 9:03 am.  At 9:37 am, Flight 77 struck the Pentagon, and at 10:03 am Flight 93 is crashed into a field in Shanksville, PA.
