Aww.. you guys are so patriotic! :)

I don't even know all the words to my national anthem and I've never had to sing or stand up for it either.

Just so you know I salute to the sound of the Brittish National Anthem when it plays every day at 1700 over my base. it plays right before the American National Anthem. I don't have to, but I do it out of respect to your country.

umm the only tools that salute in doors are the army, and only for reporting, never the natl anthem. navy/marines/af never salute uncovered or indoors.

Wrong buddy. Whenever formally reporting to a senior officer you render a salute and a proper reporting statement. And yes, the AF does salute indoors during a formal ceremony where hats are worn.

I pay my respect everyday to my flag, as well as the flag of a foreign ally. If you don't feel the need to respect your own country then so be it. That is why people like me and many others do what we do day in and day out. In order to give you the freedom of choice to love or hate your country. I would like to think that people would have enough respect to atleast stand and not speak during the playing of the national anthem, or when a flag is marched down the street during a parade.

This is not something I like seeing during a parade.

To salute all officers, and all colors and standards not cased.- marine corps 10th general order. the only time we salute inside is when you wear a cover indoors ie: Duty, ceremonys, or under arms. none of this senior officer crap, and when i was in japan we didnt salute the japanese natl anthem, but you do stand at attention, but proper customs and curtisies, right hand over the heart
