The Silver Dollar Salute: Master Sgt. Pamela Johnson, 3-411 Logistical Support Battalion noncommissioned officer in charge of the battalion personnel section, is the first to salute the newly commissioned 2nd Lt. Justin Mirkovich immediately following his direct commissioning ceremony held at the Sgt. Charles H. Seston U.S. Army Reserve Center here. Afterwards, following Army tradition, the newly commissioned second lieutenant presented her with a silver dollar. The coin symbolically acknowledges the receipt of respect due the new rank and position. While no one really knows the origins many lieutenants prefer the “Ike dollar” because its large size makes it easily identifiable as a “silver dollar.”
