If one picture is worth a thousand words, then in this case a picture is undervalued.

They're not playing the National Anthem, as many people have claimed. This picture was taken on Memorial Day 2009, and the band has just started playing Hail to the Chief. The others are saluting to show respect to their President and Commander in Chief. Later on in the ceremony the band does play the Anthem, and Obama, as is proper, puts his right hand over his heart.

You can read about it at http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl_obama_non_salute.htm and http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/o/obama-arlington-salute.htm .

If you want further confirmation, see for yourself. It's all on C-SPAN: http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/ID/206561&start=800&end=900
