Original Note:
Military personnel in uniform must salute the flag during the national anthem, and the U.S. Flag Code of 1942 states that civilians should place their right hands over their hearts, but that cannot be enforced. There is no law against civilians saluting. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/rules-about-how-to-address-us-flag-came-about-because-no-one-wanted-to-look-like-a-nazi-180960100/
