Don't get me wrong, folks. I am a patriotic guy and an Army veteran. I agree that the National Anthem should NOT be played before movies. It falls into disinterest if so commonplace. Keep it special. Stand up at attention when it is played!
On the other hand, I have been to functions where "God Bless The USA" or "America The Beautiful" were played and people stand up for those and even some veterans salute. Yes, they are patriotic songs but the only one to stand on your feet for is The National Anthem.
