U.S. Army 2nd Lt. David Crowe, left, an explosive ordnance disposal officer, receives his first salute as a newly commissioned second lieutenant from U.S. Army Master Sgt. (Retired) Christopher Crayton, right, during a commissioning ceremony held inside the auditorium of the Regional Training Institute at Camp Nett, Niantic, Connecticut, Sept. 6, 2022. The first salute, also known as the silver dollar salute, is a military tradition in which a newly commissioned officer renders their first salute as an officer to an enlisted soldier of their choosing, usually a noncommissioned officer who has mentored and guided the up and coming officer on their journey, and presents that soldier with a silver dollar coin as a sign of gratitude and respect.
