Remove your headgear or I will talk to you about it after the anthem has concluded.

Wow, so i guess I've been do'n it all wrong...I usually face towards D.C. with my middle finger raised and a tear in my eye...seriously though, (from habit) i usually snap to attention , cover off, hand over heart...my boys do the same...

At last Titans game, I removed my cover, hand over heart, and sang my Anthem.

As a side note, at the games they always have the military doing things for the Anthem and at half time. They had a drill team do a half time show that was awesome. They once parachuted in the flag for the Anthem.

They also do fly-bys before the games. More impressive than the jets was the A-10s they had fly over. Really cool.

And should be a big deal to everyone.

I can't stand the disrespect some people have during our National Anthem. Couple 4th of July's ago I was at Jax Beach and the Anthem was being played. The majority of people out in the street and along the beach didn't even acknowledge it was even being played. You can bet that myself and my father (retired Navy) were standing at the POA. I've lost two friends for what that flag stands for and have many more still in harms way. Stand up, take your hat off and show some respect....otherwise I WILL correct you!

It's already been said a couple times. No exceptions, stand up, hats off unless in uniform, hand over heart or salute. Sing along, or ****. Even if you don't agree with it, we all should have been taught to pay respect even if you don't want to. I'm not religious but I **** and bow my head if there is a prayer going on. Even if it's another country's anthem or another religion's prayer, respect is due.
