A realistic, handheld-style outdoor video filmed in winter daylight. An elderly American veteran in his late 60s to early 70s stands alone outdoors beneath a large American flag mounted on a pole. Light snow is falling. Snow rests naturally on his shoulders, cap, and jacket. He wears a worn winter coat with subtle military insignia, no medals emphasized. The veteran slowly raises his own right hand and performs a correct, restrained military salute toward the American flag. His posture is upright, solemn, and steady. No exaggerated motion. His face shows quiet respect and lived experience, natural wrinkles, realistic skin texture. No dialogue. No background music. Only natural ambient winter sounds and faint wind. No cinematic lighting, no slow motion, no dramatic effects, no filters. Documentary realism, authentic TikTok-style recording. Vertical format, 9:16.
