Me: If carried by an honor guard or similar, yes. If carried by parade participants, no.

Interesting question... while I have been to a parade in many decades, I can't remember one where I wasn't standing the whole time.

For the same reason sno-globes exist. To keep the earth revolving properly, silly.

Sheesh.

I like the idea of standing / removing hat for the honor guards. Otherwise, at least around here, the entire parade would be spend standing, bareheaded.

You stand and render honors every time the Stars and Stripes pass in your view.
