Stand up for America! Here’s How to Show Respect for the Flag:
When the Flag is Carried By:
Salute the flag when it is six paces from the viewer and hold it until the flag has passed six paces beyond.
During the National Anthem:
Salute the flag at the first note of the National Anthem and hold the salute until the last note is played.
How to Salute the Flag:
When in civilian attire - MEN remove hats and hold at left shoulder with hand over heart; without hat, place right hand, palm open, over heart. WOMEN should place right hand, palm open, over heart.
