National Anthem Day

If there is one near you, I highly recommend checking it out. The pulled pork is insane!

Yes, there's one near me, and I've also been to them in other states, but never at noon! EDIT: I'm not avoiding them at noon; just coincidence that I've never been there at noon when the fun happens. :)
Yeah, I have no problem going at noon and singing the National Anthem either. The other patrons might have an issue with my singing, though... because it's really, really bad.

I'm not averse to (attempt to) sing the anthem, and don't want to raise any controversies, but...
Appearing excessively patriotic seems to be in vogue these days. Making everyone sing the anthem at noon every day seems a bit excessive for a restaurant, imo.
To me, it's not what you say (or sing) that makes you patriotic, it's what you do... Anything else is glorifying a symbol of patriotism rather than patriotism itself. But that's just me.
