Army/ Navy Game


Dec 9, 2017, 4:35 PM

Is it just me or are the American Flag patches backwards on Army's shoulders?

it’s because they don’t run backwards

and a flag flying in reverse would signify retreat...

When have you heard of the Army retreating? have you ever served?.

We might be trying to say the same thing, but...

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.

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’.”

We retreat all the time. We just call it “breaking contact” now.

The stars always point forward.

When placed on the shoulder the flag appears flying to observers right.
