Strahan's failure to place his hand over his heart during the national anthem at a Veterans Day salute generated criticism, despite him appearing respectful and dignified.
The U.S. Flag Code suggests civilians should face the flag and place their right hand over their heart during the anthem; Strahan's actions were technically non-compliant yet dignified.
Critics point out Strahan's deviation from the Flag Code even as recognition of his military family background complicates the condemnation of his actions.
Strahan's posture during the anthem sparked a discussion about respect and adherence to tradition, especially considering his father's military service.
