This pic was actually taken on the 13th. This is at the Indiana Ice game where our mite team did one of the intermission scrimmages. It was also boy scout night. I knew I would use a pic from this night as a POD but in taking a closer look at this photo I found it disturbing. I snapped this photo while the National Anthem was playing. Do you see anything wrong with this picture? Please tell me those of you from the states do and it's not just me. The boy scouts were on the ice holding the flag between me and the line of mites (just to the left of the photo). My DS is on the far left. So in using this for the mini, I ask myself "What do you mean" to most of the people I see in this photo...I've even panned through those standing in the back.

Where is the National Anthem etiquette?

To salute, all persons come to attention. Those in uniform give the appropriate formal salute. Citizens not in uniform salute by placing their right hand over the heart and men with head cover should remove it and hold it to left shoulder, hand over the heart. Members of organizations in formation salute upon command of the person in charge.

**I had my DS look at this photo and asked him what you are supposed to do when the National Anthem plays. He told me exactly what to do then asked why no one else had their hand across their heart. He did see the one other boy but said he accidently got his hand wrong. I also asked DS how he knew what to do (not that I've never told him). He says he does this in school! Bravo for the school still allowing the Pledge of Allegiance to be recited daily!! Seeing DS in this pic makes me so happy and proud.....sniff, sniff!! =}
