No; that would be an awful lot of saluting and would cause a lot of confused civilians if you saluted everyone when walking down the street. But, at least in the Navy, the standard was to smile and return the salute if a civilian salutes you (as kids often do).

As Commander in Chief of the U. S. Armed Forces, the U. S. President outranks all other military officers. Even Admirals and Five-Star Generals when in the presence of the President must wait for him/her to answer their salute. I believe some Generals have had a problem with that, especially in cases involving a President who had never donned a uniform.

Who has to salute a Medal of Honor winner?
I have read, but do not know for certain, that the president and all armed forces members do salute Medal of Honor recipients. However, there is no documented requirement for this gesture. We must distinguish between regulation and tradition here. There is no written military regulation that requires a senior officer to ever salute a junior officer or an enlisted man first, regardless of what award the junior holds. However it has been a long standing military tradition to render a salute first (or at least simultaneously) to a Medal of Honor recipient. When doing so, the senior officer is not technically saluting the man, but the award, in the same way that military personnel saluting a color guard are saluting the US flag and not the flag bearer. I hope this clarifies things.
