Is it played at the theater's on other military branch bases? 2014-05-29T13:30:54-04:00 PO1 Private RallyPoint Member 138023 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div> Why on every Navy base at the base theater, do they play the National Anthem?

I have no problem with being patriotic, but it caught me off guard when I heard it the first time here.

My wife is a Navy brat &amp; the both us still get that urge to stand before a movie. I used to live near the British facilities while stationed in Berlin. They also play their national anthem before movies in their base theater as well.

It has been like this since I can remember as a kid. I am one person that believes that it should be played in all public movie theaters.<br />But that will never happen because it will offend someone.
