First Salute DIY Frame Kit

The “Silver Dollar Salute” is a revered military tradition dating back to the 19th century. It marks the transition from officer trainee to leader of soldiers and results in a cadet becoming a commissioned officer. This is also when new officers present a Silver Dollar to the enlisted service member who gives them their first salute as an officer.
