36 U.S. Code 301(c):
"all other persons present [who are not members of the Armed Forces] should face the flag and stand at attention with their right hand over the heart, and men not in uniform, if applicable, should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart"

But Jehovah's Witnesses do not sing and their standing is voluntary: it's left to their own conscience, which is interesting, as that's what we're talking about here as well: what your conscience tells you:
"Jehovah’s Witnesses are not allowed to salute the flag of any nation, recite the pledge of allegiance, stand for or sing the national anthem, run for public office, vote, or serve in the armed forces." This is their own document:

Standing for the National Anthem began in 1893 as a spontaneous and individual act and has since become part of U.S. Code.
