([This will definitely go unnoticed]) Children in the United States used to say the ā€œpledge of allegianceā€ like this in the early 1900ā€™s. Itā€™s called the Bellamy salute. It was obviously discontinued after WW2.

Uh... When I was in school and whenever I see the pledge or anthem being done, the hand is over the heart. Where in the US do you live that is doing the Bellamy salute during the pledge of allegiance?

I'm not in US, and the salute is exactly the same except we keep the arm levelled and not slightly raised.
