I've never been one to put my hand over my heart during the National Anthem. As I see it, there's no real etiquette covering this, save for the standing and removing of the hat. I put my hand over my heart for the Pledge of Allegiance.
I don't really view it as being unpatriotic. I, myself, am very proud to be an American, as my grandfather served in the Army during WW2 and the Navy during Korea. I joined the Sons of the American Legion out of gratitude and respect of his and all others' service.
