Is there a law mandating standing during the Pledge of Allegiance or Star-Spangled Banner?

I know that the flag code says people should stand. But is there a law saying that people shall/must stand during these? I am seeing more and more people NOT standing and it upsets me. I know that it's a person's right to not recite or put their hand over their heart, provided they are respectful. Do they also have the right to sit? Any cites would be helpful.

1. No there is no law mandating standing during these recitations.
2. They do not have too, partly because we have the word God in the Pledge of Allegiance, and not everyone appreciates America, if you know what I mean. Also, there are those people who are incapable of standing.
3. No there is no law
4. Nope. Only military past and present have to follow their codes of conduct.
5. No. But there's law protecting people's right not to salute the flag. It's called the First Amendment. Sorry you are upset by people's exercising their right to free expression.
6. No you don't have to stand or anything. Some students (Jehovah's Witness Religion) don't stand during the salute because it goes against their beliefs.
7. it is respect for our country . it is pride in being an American . it is support for the men and women in our military and the men and women who have given their lives so that we can be free. Americans don't need a law they are proud to stand and show their love of country.
