A realistic handheld-style video outdoors in a quiet American town during late afternoon.
An older American male veteran in his 60s stands near the roadside beneath a large U.S. flag flying high on a pole.
The flag waves slowly in the wind above him.
The veteran notices the flag, stops walking, straightens his posture, and slowly raises his hand to salute.
He holds the salute firmly, eyes fixed on the flag, expression serious and reflective.
Natural wrinkles, realistic skin texture, no beauty filters.
Minimal movement, controlled breathing, visible weight of age and experience.
Documentary-style realism, natural daylight, no cinematic lighting, no dramatic music.
Only soft ambient outdoor sounds and the faint movement of the flag in the wind.
Vertical format, 9:16, solemn and authentic TikTok-style recording.
