Yes. And I salute you back.

Yes.
** The only time you salute with your left hand when able to do so with the right, is if your nation was defeated in military battle and had surrendered.
It was meant to denote that you had been defeated and no longer presented a threat. Though when the war would end, those defeated would convert back to right hand salutes.

Yes, by all means. Saluting is paying honor not only to the flag but, to the United States.

while there is no military provision stating to salute with the left hand under any circumstances. It is an unspoken rule that if you salute with the left because of an injury most if not all superiors will salute back without question

Yes - I had to use my Left arm to salute for just under a year when I injured my right...

All members are to salute with the right hand unless physically unable to do so, in which case they are to salute with the left hand. ... I hope this helps

And God bless you for loving your country.

It was in the Navy. And I assume it is the same in all the other branches as well.
