Question: 
Can the Pledge of Allegiance be recited without the flag being present?
Answer: 

The flag should be present, however, when situations dictate that it is not present, it would still be appropriate to recite the Pledge. Simply stand and place the right hand over the heart and face towards the person leading in the recitation of the Pledge or to where the flag would normally be placed.
