All that is necessity is to stand quietly. Hand over your heart or saying the Pledge is not necessary. That is what I do.
Would those who have been kneeling during the National Anthem take the Pledge of Allegiance? If an American refuses to take the Pledge of Allegiance it means that they do not accept the fact that America is a Republic, a nation under God, based on the goals of liberty and freedom for all, and/or indivisible. By taking the Pledge, someone is not saying that America has always done the right thing; they are rather acknowledging that America is a place that strives to do the right thing, and where there is freedom to protest and speak your mind. And where young men have the opportunity to make a lot of money playing a game.

I wish that all Americans, even those who are native born, would have to take the same oath of citizenship that naturalized citizens take in order to maintain voting rights. All citizens should support the Constitution even if they may agree with things the government does. I would suggest that anyone who would not take the oath, or the military oath of enlistment, ought to look for somewhere else to live.
