>>On any military base at retreat every day the Anthem is played as the Flag is lowered.
Are you sure? I’m pretty sure when I was growing up, they played Taps.
You very much stopped your car, got out, and faced the parade field / flag pole, even as a civvy dependent.
Of course I’m sure.
Taps is at night. Retreat is end of workday
The further from the fighting the bigger the show.
Know little about military bases but do know in the DFW area the tee vee stations began and ended each and every day with OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM. While being sung, an image would be shown of our AF Pilots in flight as a unit, a billowing flag being flown, and other similar images. That is but one free speech which has been silenced. Was this done in other areas across the US? Miss that part of our history AND the Indian in full head-dress test pattern. Color bars are so bland and nondescript.
