#1 My workplace, we hoist the flag briskly and proudly while Reville plays (at sunup). Likewise goes for To The Colors followed by Taps (at dusk). Swingshift/Night crews are more patriotic than the snotty "management" types who try to hurry in (or duck into their cars) before the bugle call starts (so they dont have to stop and face the flag).

Thig is that it lets you know who the veterans are: all of them, old, young, healthy or with a cane - they all snap to, and face the flag with their hats off.
