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.

More reasons to have the National Anthem played as a regular occurrence.

We did the Pledge of Allegiance every day for years. That never became a "disinterest" to me. I'd rather too often than not at all - the current status.
