If someone doesn't want to put their hand over their heart (I don't) they have every right not to do so. It's places like North Korea and the former Soviet Union where people are shamed, forced, threatened, and even jailed if they don't bow or salute the right way or don't wear the right "patriotic" pins on their clothes. I'd rather not live in a place like North Korea, nor be told to "live somewhere else" just because I don't put my hand on my chest. Yes to all this. I was at a baseball game on Sunday in line at a concession stand when the anthem played. I stopped and turned, did the hand on heart thing because it's a habit for me. Other people in line continued ordering their food, left their hats on, etc. On the jumbotron I could see players chewing gum with their hands behind their backs and some staring off into space. I would never presume that those men & women don't love their country.
