National Anthems
A national anthem is a form of patriotic music that reflects on the history and traditions of a nation. The majority of national anthems are marches or hymns. The oldest anthem known is 'Wilhelmus', the Dutch national anthem, which was written between 1568 and 1572. The Japanese anthem, 'Kimi ga Yo' is often wrongly thought to be the oldest because the lyrics are taken from a poem written in 794, but it didn't become an anthem until the mid-1800's.

What do the words to the American National Anthem mean?
The Star Spangeled Banner is another word for our flag. The song is symbolic of the fights and the struggle and the many battles we fought to keep our independence in the very begining of our country's history. The lyrics were written by Francis Scott Key who after an especially nasty battle, see's the sun begining to come up (Oh say can you see by the dawn's early light) and through the smoke and the dirt and destruction of battle (and the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air), he sees the flag still in one peace, waving and standing how it did the night before (gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh say does that star spangled banner yet wave). With pride in his heart he feels and therefore writes the last line "For the land of the free and the home of the brave," honoring those who fought proudly for the the country and the flag (symbolically)

THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER
WRITER FRANCIS SCOTT KEY
Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

It is my understanding that the head of state is expected to show the same deference to the national anthems of foreign countries as he or she would to his or her own. Generally this means that, barring mobility limitations, the person would stand, refrain from conversation, and face the nation's flag (or, in the absence of a flag, the speaker's platform, or the source of the music). Salutatory gestures specific to that nation (such as the hand over the heart or an extended arm) are not appropriate for non-citizens. Hands are generally kept at the sides or may be clasped loosely in front of the body. In the case of a gentleman wearing a hat, it is appropriate for him to remove his hat and hold it across his body or at his side, as a sign of deference, unless the foreign nation's customs dictate otherwise. It is generally not considered good form to sing along as this would represent an allegiance to (as distinct from an alliance with) the foreign nation.
