[quote=Anonymous]When i hear the national anthem, i stand up straight, remove any article on my head, and face the flag in silence. Thats how i was taught by my father, a war vet, who was taught by his father who also was a war vet. Growing up i never saw any vet. put his hand over his heart during the national anthem, in uniform or out of uniform. All of them stood at attention facing the flag in silence. It's only been recently that americans are placing their hand over their heart. Personally i have no problem with that. But i do have a problem with people saying im not patriotic because i dont. First, i would like  to say that putting your hand over your heart makes the same amount of difference as putting a some change in a donation jar. Not MUCH. Being patriotic means doing what best for your county and its people. What i see is mind control. If i follow im patriotic, if i dont, them im not. Now remember my fellow american, being patriotic means having or expressing devotion to and vigorous support for one's country. So telling me "how to be patriotic" is not  being patriotic, its  being a jerk  or dictator ( which one you prefer).
