I don't know of any military brat that doesn't automatically freeze for Taps when on base. It is absolutely mandatory. Actually, I was surprised to see the kids moving at all, especially the oldest girl who moved up to claim the swing. That would have gotten us in the house and some sort of punishment right then and there.

I'm a card-carrying liberal but my grandson knows to stop, remove cap and put hand over heart when he sees the colors or hears the anthem, at least when he's with his Nana.

You just described me in a nutshell. :coolsmiley:

Liberal military brat here, that knew to immediately stop everything at 5:00 pm when "To The Color" or the National Anthem was played over all of the loudspeakers while lowering the flag on base and cover my heart while looking toward the Command Center building.

Vehicles also stopped and those in uniform saluted.
