The proper protocols for saluting the American flag and during the Pledge of Allegiance or playing of the National Anthem are set out below. Apparently if you are Commander-in-Chief you get to make the rules. This picture was taken at the memorial service for the soldiers slain at Ft. Hood.
The Salute To salute, all persons come to attention. Those in uniform give the appropriate formal salute. Citizens not in uniform salute by placing their right hand over the heart and men with head cover should remove it and hold it to left shoulder, hand over the heart. Members of organizations in formation salute upon command of the person in charge.
