This article could use some history of the Pledge, I think. Human 22:28, 29 April 2007 (EDT)
- I see the salute was removed. Don't those in uniform salute? (and check out the salute article, it defines both) I'm trying to remember my Boy Scout days, did we salute or do the "hand on my heart" thing? Human 23:18, 29 April 2007 (EDT)
I found this:
The United States Code (4USC4) states that when delivering the Pledge of Allegiance, all must be standing at attention, facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. It also states that men not in uniform should remove any nonreligious headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Persons in uniform should remain silent, face the flag, and render the military salute.

May I reinsert the word "salute" now? By the way, the hand on heart is a salute, for civilians and those out of uniform. Human 23:24, 29 April 2007 (EDT)
