Yes. If the movie is over 90 minutes, we also stop and play it again at the 1 hour mark.

Yea.

It is also a mandatory requirement that we clap after the movies.

Neither of these are true.

When we're at a restaurant every 15 minutes or so the anthem comes on and we all have to leave our plates and go outside to stand in front of the flag in front of the restaurant.

Yup. Also I look at the movie schedule to make sure Im standing even if Im not in the theatre. If I can stand while that song is playing somewhere, even if I cant hear it, I do it. People who dont do this hate our troops.

Most of us wish it were a little more often, tbh. Especially if it's a foreign film, or a war movie. That patriotic buzz starts to wear off. I wouldn't mind every 20 minutes or so.

If you didn't make it so easy, it wouldn't happen so often.

Movies, meetings, meals, car trips, state-appointed lovemaking time.

Takes a fair chunk out of our day but we manage.

If it's raining, we have to stand outside even longer.

It varies from state to state. Like, here in Pennsylvania, if it's raining, you're expected to go put and form a human barrier around the flag. Some times we do it even if it's not raining, just for the thrill of defending the symbol of this great nation.

Didn't it used to play before tv went off? Like before the programming was over, the tv station would play it then cut off?
