National anthem on the radio every day at noon

How is it any different than when it's playing at the track. People turn all different ways. Just saying. Lots of speakers/pa system at the track. And usually at least one flag somewhere.

 

To be honest, when I am focused on the task at hand, whatever music is on is simply background noise. Odds are most days I would be more likely to wear earplugs to avoid the country music and wouldn't hear the anthem.

 

On a couple mile road course they might not be sure where the flag is.

 

Either, you face the colors you see or the direction from which you hear the sound.

 

I feel like I should stop what I'm doing to be attentive.. Because I was taught that when the national anthem plays you're supposed to stand blah blah blah.

I feel like you listen to a station that plays it every single day, you should maybe do the same. I just don't know. I think it's the only country station in town. So I feel like if you want to listen to that kind of music on the radio, they're sort of forcing the issue.

I also feel weirded out by it playing at the same time everyday. Call to prayer is not my thing. So to speak.

I was told today they play it at noon at the mission in Canton here. @speedluvn

 

I was stopped at the MB in Columbia.

 

Sounds like you are mind fucking it instead of just getting on with work

 

I always knew you were a terrorist sympathizer.

 

The man takes his lunches seriously.

 

I know..I should be over at the mission at that time of day to beat the union guys. Lol

 

I don’t think there are any union shops left in Baltimore. There was only one left last year and it was closing up the last I heard before leaving union misrepresentation

 

Typical for military brats and their parents told them what to do at one point or another. Outside, stop, covers off, face music/flag. The hand over heart is new to me.

 

Lol this reminds me of all the service personnel hauling the mail to get off base before they played Retreat and the Anthem at 5 p.m. Cut it too close, and it's pull over, out of the vehicle, salute.

 

My opinion is probably a bit over the top, but by spending many days waking up under someone else’s flag, I take the flag and our anthem pretty serious. Pisses me off big time at a sporting event when folks can’t shut up for 2 minutes to observe others sacrifice, however, it would be unrealistic to stop what you’re doing daily at noon to observe the anthem in this situation. The fact that in your heart and mind you know what to do is great.

Love that radio station too! The anthem should be number one on the top 40 daily!

 

You know, perhaps they should play it 5 times a day.

Maybe even build these tallish towering structure to blare it out from....

 

The Army Brat learned simply from observation. I wasn't told to do it - my dad just set the standard of always doing the right thing and I tried to emulate him.

 

Fine. Stand up bitches. All y'all.
