National anthem in Drum Point

Does anyone know the deal with the National Anthem playing at 0800 every morning in Drum Point?

Colors....You're gonna hear it at 0800 everyday until you move. And you probably hear a bugle call at sunset every day as well.

Question, are you supposed to stop at the retiring of colors too?

Like if you are in a parking garage?

He may be hearing it coming from Pax. They play colors over the emergency siren/PA system.
