I'm surprised that so many know so much on displaying the American Flag when our U S Forces (Generals on down to recruits) display a patch, on their uniforms, of our flag in direct contradiction of Public Law 92 which does specify how our flag is to be displayed.

Army Regulation 670-1 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’."

This can be seen in Figures 28-135 and 28-136 on page 241 of Army Regulation 670-1 about wear of uniforms and insignia.
