I am not US citizen.

I participate with my boys in scouting where we have a flag ceremony at each major meeting. The flag is brought up and the pledge of allegiance is recited.

Since I respect the other people in the room, I stand silently while this is done.

When the pledge of allegiance is recited, I stand silently on the side.

I do not recite the pledge because it would not be authentic since I am not a citizen, but, I show respect by standing next to others.

Even though I am not a US citizen, I am a citizen of another country and understand and believe in showing respect to ones flag and symbols.

In my mind, this is like when you attend a sporting event and another countries flag and national anthem is sung, you stand silently showing respect.

Why should you respect your country's flag?

You should show respect for your country's flag because it is your country's highest and most recognizable symbol, and the way you treat it is representative of your attitude towards your country. Obviously is you have no respect for your country, traditions, culture and history, you have no reason to show any special respect for your flag over any other piece of cloth, but if you have respect for your country, treating the flag appropriately is a manifestation of that. Flag etiquette varies somewhat from country to country, but the basics are that the flag should not touch the ground, should be kept in good repair, flown the right way up, and flown at the same height as all other national flags.

Should you stand for the national anthem at a play?

Well, if you're in the US, you certainly do. I don't know what they do in England, but you should because it's the respect issue. If they're showing a flag, doubly so. Remember to remove your hat!
