the real reson, no matter what anyone says, patroism(excuse the spelling). You say the pledge, and by putting your hand on your heart believe in the pledge. Same as a solider saluting while the flag is being raised.
because we love America
You put your right hand over your heart with the Pledge.
Proper procedure? Can either hand (left or right) be used when reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.
Right hand
Yes, Barack Obama says the Pledge of Allegiance often, since the US Senate starts every session with the Pledge. There is a YouTube video showing Obama leading the Senate in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance (with his hand to his heart), and there are pictures showing Obama holding his hand to his heart for the Pledge on other occasions. This confusion was the result of a picture showing Obama standing without his hand to his heart, next to two other candidates who are holding their hands to their heart. But the photo's caption is incorrect, they are not reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, but rather standing for the National Anthem (which can be verified by watching a YouTube video of the event). This was during an informal, outdoor event for Democratic candidates. Although protocol suggests that the hand should be held to the heart during the National Anthem, observing any sporting event will show that only some Americans do so. But regardless of hand placement, most Americans stand respectfully during the National Anthem, which is what Obama was doing in that photograph. When his aides were asked about this, they replied that sometimes Obama puts his hand to his heart during the Anthem, and other times he does not.
Place it on your chest where your heart is.
Right hand over heart
put your right hand over your heart and look at the flag
If you are wearing a hat, you should remove it while saying the pledge of allegiance. You should also stand, and place your right hand over your heart.
