You don’t have to sing during the national anthem (although
that would be nice) but at least put your hand over your heart. Just because
the current president of the U.S. isn’t patriotic, doesn’t make it right for
you.
This excerpt is from the U.S. Code:
During rendition of the national
anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform should
stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Men not
in uniform should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at
the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Persons in uniform should
render the military salute at the first note of the anthem and retain this
position until the last note. When the flag is not displayed, those present
should face toward the music and act in the same manner they would if the flag
were displayed there.
