My dad was 23 years in the Army. I grew up around military my whole life. He would go out of his way to tell people to take their hats off and shut their trap during the anthem. I was raised to show respect. Hats off and hand on heart 100% of the time.

Agreed.
Our society is loosing a lot of respect these days. Etiquette has gone down the drain. I was taught to always remove my hat when indoors, like in a classroom or at a restaurant. It is especially rude to me to wear sunglasses indoors, again in a classroom or restaurant specifically. Oh, and not to mention listening to your iPod in class, that's the apidemy of rudeness to me. It also ticks me off when our own Olympians don't know the words to the National Anthem. They should be required to memorized it. Teach it in kindergarten.
