Clan Flag Protocol

It's not just flags. Not many people take their hats off for the national anthem, or places the hand over the heart anymore. Nobody's being taught this stuff in schools anymore, and unless you've got military experience, it pretty much just isn't practiced. Sad, but true.

While I agree with the spirit of your post, there are a number of us on "civvie street" that do remove our hats and render the proper salute during the playing of the National Anthem, and rest assured my daughter will learn as well when she's older.

That's true. That is why I think Clan Societies who revere history and tradition so much would have a guideline for something this simple.

Indeed.

I will also send an e-mail to our clan society VP, who is also a member of the Scottish-American-Military-Society (SAMS) and see what they think. Since SAMS usually provides colour parties at games, they might be the best source.
