During WWI the American salute was the stiff-armed salute adopted later
by the National Socialist German Workers Party (Nazis). A photograph shows
French children greeting American Soliders on their way to the front in
France use the American salute for Americans in World War I.

Note the source of the photo: the Committee on Public Information
(CPI, the Creel Committee) in the United States. The USA was already
a police state and proud of it. http://rexcurry.net/medianazi.html
The United States military also used the swastika symbol (hooked cross)
in WWI, against Germany et cetera, before the symbol was adopted by the
National Socialist German Workers Party and used as meshed S-letters for
their "socialism". http://rexcurry.net/45th-infantry-division-swastika-sooner-soldiers.html
The government in the United States used the fasces symbol before it
was adopted by Mussolini when he was a well-known socialist writer and
leader. In 1915, fasces appeared on an Indian head gold coin in the talons
of an eagle. In 1916, fasces appeared on the Mercury dime. Both
examples were under the democrat Woodrow Wilson (elected in 1912 and re-elected
in 1916). A small crossed fasces also appeared on an obscure U..S. Senate
seal as early as 1885 (of course, the very term "senate" harkens to Roman
times) and fasces are in the rostrum of the U.S. House of Representatives.
Wilson's use of the fasces was propaganda to con Americans into another
one of the many stupid wars that the USA's government either started or joined:
WWI (the war to make the world safe for democracy, har har). That propaganda
supplemented flag waving, the Pledge of Allegiance (with its stiff-armed salute)
and similar silliness. http://rexcurry.net/fascism=socialism.html
During WWI, Mussolini was a
well-known socialist leader and writer. Mussolini also wanted Italians to
join the USA and the allies in World War I against the Austro/German forces.
He followed fascist footsteps from the USA. http://rexcurry.net/mussolini.html
Mussolini mimicked military socialism in the USA as touted by Francis
Bellamy (author of the "Pledge of Allegiance") and Edward Bellamy (author
of "Looking Backward"). http://rexcurry.net/pledge-allegiance-pledge-allegiance2.jpg
Edward Bellamy's book was an international bestseller translated into
every major language, including Italian.

National Socialism originated in the USA. http://rexcurry.net/swastika-national-socialism.html
45th Infantry Division and Lafayette Escadrille Americaine personnel
did the Pledge of Allegiance this way. http://members.ij.net/rex/pledge-allegiance-pledge-allegiance2.jpg
The United States government used swastika symbolism during the same
period on Boeing P-12 F4b et cetera. The 45th Infantry Division influenced
swastika (Hakenkreuz) symbology under Nazism http://members.ij.net/rex/swastika3swastika.jpg
Of course, WWI led to WWII and so forth, ad infinitum, ad nauseum.
In 1790, Arthur St. Clair, the governor of the Northwest Territory, changed
the name of the settlement "Losantiville" to "Cincinnati" in honor of the
Society of the Cincinnati, of which he was president. The society gets
its name from Cincinnatus, the Roman general and dictator, who saved the
city of Rome from destruction and then quietly retired to his farm. The
society honored the ideal of return to civilian life by military officers
following the Revolution rather than imposing military rule. To this day,
Cincinnati in particular, and Ohio in general, is home to a disproportionately
large number of descendants of Revolutionary War soldiers who were granted
lands in the state. A statue of Cincinnatus in Cincinnati, Ohio has the
inscription: "With one hand he returns the fasces, symbol of power as appointed
dictator of Rome. His other hand holds the plow, as he resumes the life
of a citizen and farmer."
That is stark contrast to the dogma Edward Bellamy and Francis Bellamy
who wanted all of society to ape the military in what they called "military
socialism" based on an "industrial army" created by government schools (socialist
schools) via a government takeover of education.

The Bellamy dogma coincided with trends in American architecture that
glorified Rome and militarism long before German National Socialists, the
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, or the socialist Mussolini: neoclassicism
was one expression of the American Renaissance movement, ca 1880-1917. One
of the pioneers of this style was English-born Benjamin Henry Latrobe, who
is sometimes labeled the father of American architecture. The Baltimore Basilica,
the first Roman Catholic Cathedral in the United States, is considered by
some experts to be Latrobe's masterpiece.
Its last manifestation was in Beaux-Arts architecture (1885–1920). Its
very last, large public projects in the United States were the Lincoln
Memorial (1922, four years after WWI, and around the time of the creation
of the NSGWP), the National Gallery in Washington, D.C. (1937), and the
American Museum of Natural History's Roosevelt Memorial (1936) (both after
German National Socialism had acheived dictatorship and as it's own path
of national socialism expanded with the path of national socialism in the
United States).
Francis Bellamy grew up in Rome, New York, and that led to the Roman salute
myth regard early straight-arm salute in his Pledge of Allegiance.

Dr. Rex Curry (author of "Pledge of Allegiance Secrets") regarding Edward
Bellamy and Francis Bellamy.

The fasces is used throughout
the federal government in the USA, as shown on the seal
of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts and
in Congress to the right of the podium.
