"I still put my hand over my heart for the National Anthem."

I believe you are a veteran. The Defense Authorization Act of 2009, signed by "W", allows un-uniformed service-members, military retirees, and veterans to render a hand salute during the hoisting, lowering, or passing of the U.S. flag and during the national anthem.

THANKS! I didn’t know that. I’ll admit, a salute FEELS more natural.
