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.

Does the Vice President Salute?
As Commander in Chief of the military, the President returns salutes of Unit Commanders when bearing the flag or otherwise and honors the flag with a hand over heart when it is passing via a group outside the military. The Vice President on the other hand has NO role in the US Military and as such would not ever salute the flag or a military unit until such time that the VP was serving as the President. That is all in theory, in practice the reality is different. I have seen two videos on youtube where VP Joe Biden returns a salute. In fact in the second video it appears that the officer saluting is expecting him to return the salute because he holds his salute for a long time until it's returned. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOev-fY4gQs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_aOTGiVe0A

Why doesn't the US flag on the moon hang down?
Although there is gravity on the Moon, the flag had wire strips in it to stop it falling down. This also allowed the flag to look like it was "waving". The Apollo 11 mission flag fell over due to the exhaust blast of the returning flight.
