Question for Americans!

[Orangeknees]

If I'm at an event in the USA and the national anthem is played, should non-americans like me put their hand on their heart too?

We travel to America regularly. We never do it.

Why would you?

No just stand respectfully like you would do when any national anthem is played.

I lived (as a non-American) in America for a number of years and had to go to events (scouts etc) with DC where the kids and parents were expected to sing the anthem, say the pledge of allegiance etc. I just stood with everyone else, but didn't sing/say the pledge (because that would be odd), and it seemed like a good compromise.

Non American but lived there for years and no I wouldn’t. My Canadian boss who is actually now a citizen doesn’t either. But obviously stand up, be respectful, if you’re a wearing a hat (which you probably aren’t if you’re not an American) then take it off.
