Identification should include

determining when, where, and to whom it is appropriate to salute
coming to attention
turning the head and eyes toward the Colors or person to be saluted
raising the right hand quickly and sharply
bringing the hand up until the tip of the index finger touches above and slightly to the right of the right eye
keeping thumb and fingers extended and joined, palm to the left, with the hand and wrist straight
holding upper arm horizontal and forearm inclined at a 45º angle
maintaining the salute until it is returned by the person saluted
dropping the hand to the side.

The above should be accomplished without any personal stylistic additions.
