Conduct and Respect for the Flag of the United States of America

During the recitation of The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, playing the National Anthem, or flag passing in review, it is customary to follow these guidelines:

• Stand at attention, facing the flag. During the National Anthem, if no flag is present, stand facing the music.
• Persons in uniform should remain silent, face the flag, and render the military salute.
• If not in uniform, place your right hand, ungloved, over your heart.
• The left hand should be holding nothing with your arm resting at your side.
• When not in uniform, men should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at their left shoulder, their hand being over their heart.
