Salutes are for the soldiers themselves and amongst themselves. However, there is no law against saluting a soldier as a sign of respect, though if they are enlisted they'll probably point out that they don't get saluted.

How does a man wearing a hat but not in a uniform salute the flag?

Originally, you are only legally allowed to salute a flag while in uniform. All others should remove their hats and stand at attention or place their right hand over their heart. However, the US Congress in Public Law 110-417 (2009 Defense Authorization Act) builds on the 2008 Defense Authorization Act and authorizes veterans and troops not in uniform to render a hand salute during the playing of the national anthem and during the raising, lowering or passing of the US Flag. Civilians still stand at attention with hand over heart.
