[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a military vet so my opinion is biased, with that said, yes I stand-up and put my hand on my heart during the anthem.  Also you take off your hat, if you are in uniform you come to attention and salute the flag.

I don't understand your post about [b]asking a question about Fort McHenry.[/b]  You shouldn't be talking, asking or answering questions during the anthem. Being reverent during that time is a sign of respect for the men and women that have died for our country.  I don't think less of anyone that doesn't cover their heart.  But I would expect silence.

I was referring to the song itself:  "Oh say can you see" whether the stars and stripes are still flying over Fort McHenry after a night of bombardment by the British?  That's what the song is about.  Isn't that what you are thinking about when you hear it or sing it?

Okay, I admit I don't really believe many people think about what the lyrics say, but I was not really expecting that the reference would be missed.
