All,When the wreath is placed at the tomb of the unknow.Why does the President place his hand over his heart instead of saluteing?  
*The President may do whatever he wishes-

Normaly he acts as a civilian and renders honor by placeing his hand over
his heart as we would. *But as "Commander in Chief" Ronald Reagan enjoyed
returning the salutes given him by the Military at any time and in any activity.

The ruleing is that the President may do whatever he wishes<G> It would
however be "bad form" to salute uncovered and out of uniform in a important
military cerimony, at the tomb. The President is briefed on protocal of state,
and acts often in these events with instruction as to edicate.
