Have you wondered why the American Flag patches are displayed on the U.S. Army uniform? Does it look like someone got in a hurry and put it on the right shoulder sleeve backwards? Well, here is the official scoop.



In Plain English: The regulation states that when authorized for application to the proper uniform the American flag patch is to be worn, right or left shoulder, so that "the star field faces forward, or to the flag's own right. When worn in this manner, the flag is facing to the observer's right, and gives the effect of the flag flying in the breeze as the wearer moves forward. The appropriate replica for the right shoulder sleeve is identified as the 'reverse side flag'." Army Regulation 670-1, "Wear and Appearance of Army Uniforms and Insignia," updated most recently September 5, 2003, addresses explicitly the proper and lawful placement of the U.S. flag patch on the Army uniform.


Wear of full-color U.S. flag cloth replica:

a. General. All soldiers throughout the Force, regardless of deployment status, will wear the full-color U.S. flag cloth replica on utility and organizational uniforms.

b. Description. The colors of the U.S. flag cloth replica are red, white, and blue. The size is approximately 2 inches by 3 inches.

c. How worn.

When approved for wear, the full-color U.S. flag cloth replica is sewn 1/2 inch below the right shoulder seam of the temperate, hot-weather, enhanced hot-weather, and desert BDU; the BDU field jacket; and the cold-weather uniform. If the SSI?FWTS is worn on the right shoulder of the utility uniform, the full-color U.S. flag cloth replica is placed 1/8 inch below the right shoulder sleeve insignia. The SSI?FWTS is not authorized for wear on organizational uniforms, unless indicated above.
The full-color U.S. flag cloth replica is worn so that the star field faces forward, or to the flag?s own right. When worn in this manner, the flag is facing to the observer?s right, and gives the effect of the flag flying in the breeze as the wearer moves forward. The appropriate replica for the right shoulder sleeve is identified as the reverse side flag.

Guess I was wrong and going with being displayed on a wall. When I was in the service, we didn't wear the flag. I guess the Viet Cong knew who was who.

This is what I was basing my comment on...which evidently is incorrect.

When the flag is displayed in a manner other than by being flown from a staff, it should be displayed flat, whether indoors or out. When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the union should be uppermost and to the flag's own right; that is, to the observer's left. When displayed in a window, it should be displayed in the same way; that is, with the union or blue field to the left of the observer in the street. When festoons, rosettes or drapings are desired, bunting of blue, white and red should be used, but never the flag.

But I would not say a group of Hummer owners meets you description of a military unit...so quite your bitchen.

Why don't we just remove the dang thing...Don't we have people who are not US citizens?

The way I undersand, Black sheep is a derogatory colloquialism in the English language meaning an outsider or one who is different in a way which others disapprove of or find odd. Basically a separatist.


"Lions Club" already taken, but "The Bear Squadron", I think it doesn't sound right!

[RuggedH2]

I wasn't trying to piss anyone off either.

I've seen tattoos on people that were "incorrect" in their alignment (no big deal), but God help the Jarhead who gets a Eagle, Globe and Anchor tattoo with the anchor facing the wrong way (that is a big deal).
