Service-members and Veterans Question for National Anthem
I don't give it much thought and do what everyone else does. Hats off, hand on heart.

Years of being in the Navy make saluting without a cover on difficult to manage (not something we do in the Navy), unlike some of the other services.

It's always been my understanding that the hand on heart is for civilians and the salute at attention is for military in uniform and also veterans who choose to salute, otherwise they would place hand on heart as well.

You don't stand at military attention per se when placing hand on heart, but are standing upright and respectfully.


I stand at attention and render a salute.
