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.
