Come to attention. If you are a civilian, remove your hat and place it over your heart. If you do not have a hat, place your hand over your heart.

Military personnel, those in uniform and veterans come to attention and salute during the National Anthem.

It is customary to take off your hat, put your hand (or hat) over your heart, face the American flag, and sing along as best as you know how.

While it is customary, some people to not put their hand over their heart.

A good example is Barrack Obama, the president of The United States of America.

He was ridiculed for that during his election.
