Old Thread but I'm a retired USCG CWO4 - I salute and hold the salute until the National Anthem ends or when the National Ensign passes by in a parade; I also return salutes to the Gate Guards (both uniformed civilian and active duty military) when they salute me. Law Enforcement, on duty, and in uniform can, do, and should give a hand salute during the National Anthem or when the flag passes by during a parade or as it is marched by.
The right hand over the heart, cover removed, it fine for others.
