Isn't it wonderful that we (well most of the forum members apparently) live in a country with such great traditions/etiquette/customs that allow us to show respect for its symbols --- if, and only if, we so choose.
I was taught that you stand up during the national anthem. And that placing your hand over your heart is a civilian form of salute one gives as the flag passes by (along with taking your hat off). My guess is that 99% of the time there is a flag present somewhere during the national athem.
