Depending on which way it's facing.
The Stars of the flag should be moving forward.
If the soldier were carrying a flag, the flag would appear "backwards" when viewed from the soldier's right. Thus, the right side patch is backwards. It's the same reason that the flag is painted backwards on the right side of airplanes and other vehicles.
In wartime the flag is worn backwards to show advancement.. take the flag and put it on a flag-pole and run at the enemy.. it flies backwards.. Hope this helped Flying the flag upsidedown is a sign of duress. The idea being that your enemies would not know which side was up but your friends would and would come to your aid.
I heard its backwards cause during the civil war..the cavalry would ride into battle with the American flag and with the direction of the horse and the wind,the flag appears backwards.that's why the troops wear it backwards.for pride
The flag is worn with the appearance of being backwards on soldiers RIGHT arm to symbolize early American armies which had a flag carrier holding our flag high (which looks backwards from one side while correct from the other). The backwardsflag signifies this and gives the perception that every soldier is carrying a flag. Left arm patches are correctly laid. It is worn backwards to make it look like a soldier is marching into the wind carrying a flag and the wind is blowing into the flag. I hope this is more understanding. This is the same reason for astronauts.
"Forward deployed"
If a police agency like the F.B.I. or C.I.A. sure. otherwise taps, flag draped coffins are confined to the Military services proper.
It would tremendous should you allow us to know what the American flag is. There is no such thing
The flag is not really 'backwards' on their shoulders, the flag is 'flying' forward as they move forward. Note also it is only worn on the right shoulder. "The U.S. flag embroidered insignia is worn so that the star field faces forward, or to the flags' own right. When worn in this manner, the flag is facing to the observers right and gives the effect of the flag flying in the breeze as the wearer moves forward." per military code.
The flag is not worn backwards but is worn, "facing home." This is a regulation that was ordered by the Department of the U.S. Army, Army regulation 670-1.
American flag is correct.
i don't think so but i wouldn't wear it to the police station
The American Flag.
