This is incorrect. The United States Military uses what is called a "Reverse Flag Patch", meaning the stars would be in the upper right corner. This is so that when worn on the right shoulder of a US soldier the flag is "flying" in the direction the soldier in traveling. The reason for this is to show that American military forces are advancing and not retreating. If you imagine you are looking at a soldier's right shoulder you will understand how this flag would be backwards.

Balderdash. There is nothing incorrect about this patch so long as it is used correctly. This would be incorrect in a time of war and on the right arm. On the left arm, the back, or over the heart, this is correct, though maybe against current military regulations. On a camo duffle bag, this would be a cool way to show your patriotism. Under the armpits or upon the buttocks, however, would be incorrect for an entirely different reason – it’s a disrespectful placement. But the patch is not intrinsically incorrect. -BRPXQZME (talk) 23:54, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
