[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The hand position was actually changed b/c it was too offensive: https://www.ushistory.org/documents/pledge.htm[/quote] Yep! From this article "Shortly thereafter, the pledge was begun with the right hand over the heart, and after reciting "to the Flag," the arm was extended toward the Flag, palm-down. In World War II, the salute too much resembled the Nazi salute, so it was changed to keep the right hand over the heart throughout."[/quote]
