Can your hand be at a right angle over your heart to salute the american flag?In: Fourth of July |

Answer
I'm not sure what you mean by "at a right angle," but here is the proper way to salute:
"To salute, all persons come to attention. Those in uniform give the appropriate formal salute. Citizens not in uniform salute by placing their right hand over the heart and men with head cover should remove it and hold it to left shoulder, hand over the heart."
This information came from http://www.usflag.org/flagetiquette.html
While it is not stated how to place the hand over the heart, it is customary to place the palm of the hand toward the chest.
