I honestly did not know until I married a soldier that you were supposed to stand when the flag was displayed. In my first 21 years, never once did someone tell me.

You don't have to stand for every flag in a parade - only the ones displayed by an official color guard. If you had to stand for every flag that was displayed, you would never sit down at our local parades. There are some old-timers that wouldn't be able to handle that.

Thank you for the important clarification!

One doesn't HAVE to stand at all! The gentleman in the wheel chair didn't seem to mind, HE STOOD BECAUSE HE FELT PRIDE IN DOING SO.

(toppling off trembling legs with a sigh of relief) Thank you! ;-)
