The national anthum

[39mto39g]

Ive notices that during the playing of the national anthum most of the people are standing around talking, eating or doing something other than having there attention on the flag. Maybe Im wrong but isn't it supposed to be that the military come to attention and salute the flag and civiliand place there right hand over there heart. This doesn't seem like a very hard thing to do but maybe it is.
The guys that landed on Omaha beach might have a different opinion on what is hard, "Colonel George Taylor: Commander of the 16th. Infantry was quoted as saying "Two kinds of people are staying on this beach, the dead and those who are about to die"
Or maybe the guys at Utah beach might think that right hand over the heart is a hard thing,,,"U.S. Soldiers of the 8th Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Division, move out over the seawall on "Utah" Beach, after coming ashore"
Or maybe the Marines that landed on Okinawa---
"38,000 Americans wounded and 12,000 killed or missing, more than 107,000 Japanese and Okinawan conscripts killed"
Or maybe the Army air corps might think that right hand over the heart is hard, when compaired to flying a B-29 over Berling in daylight with no fighter escort. Or our Navy, there are so many operations I can't pick one.
Putting your right hand over your heart for 2 min. is really to hard.
Yea right
