To sign loyalty, hold your non-dominant hand open and flat, with your fingers pointing up and your palm facing sideways. Form an 'L' handshape with your dominant hand. Touch the thumb of your 'L' hand to the upper part of your non-dominant palm, then move it down to touch the lower part of the palm.
Sign 'I', then 'appreciate' by tapping your open hand on your chest, point forward for 'your', and use the 'L' handshape on your palm for 'loyalty'.

In ASL, a flat, open non-dominant hand often acts as a base or represents a foundation or standard. Here, it provides a firm base for the 'L' handshape, symbolizing a strong, established commitment.
Yes! You should always use your dominant hand (the hand you write with) for the moving 'L' shape, while your non-dominant hand acts as the stationary base.
You should make two distinct contacts. First, tap the thumb of your 'L' hand against the upper part of your palm, then move it down to tap the lower part of the palm.
