Removing hat during playing of our National Anthem
The United States Code, 36 USC Sec 301, says that during the playing of" The Star Spangled Banner" when the flag is displayed, everyone except those in uniform should stand at attention while facing the flag and have their right hand over their heart.
Individuals in attendance that aren't in uniform should remove anything they are wearing on their head and with their right hand and hold it at their left shoulder with their hand held over their heart.
Individuals in uniform should show the military salute during the first note of the anthem and stay in this position until the last note.
If the flag is not displayed, people in attendance should face the music and respond as if the flag were present.
I see many people who do not do this.
