The tradition of standing for the national anthem is rooted in federal law, according to historians. The U.S. Flag Code, passed in 1942, states that all civilians present during the playing of the anthem while the U.S. flag is displayed "should stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart."

So, how many years of imprisonment if not in compliance?

Americans haven't always followed the laws of the land, do we get to pick and choose which ones to follow.

I would be interested in your answer to your question, please?  Do you believe following the law is "the right thing to do" or do you believe that if I am a baker, I shouldn't have to bake a cake for a gay wedding or if I am a country clerk, I shouldn't have to give a gay couple a marriage license or if I am a merchant, I can refuse service to anyone that I please?
