Historically speaking, this is incorrect, as it's a modern day change.
WWII- at least Vietnam the flags were displayed like this V

In recent times a change was made and now the flag is flown like this V

I don't know if the change up was legal for the Army to make as Congress has stated that the flag was to be flown according to these directions V

http://www.ushistory.org/betsy/flagetiq.html

Displaying the Flag

1. When the flag is displayed over the middle of the street, it should be suspended vertically with the union to the north in an east and west street or to the east in a north and south street.

2. The flag of the United States of America, when it is displayed with another flag against a wall from crossed staffs, should be on the right, the flag's own right [that means the viewer's left --Webmaster], and its staff should be in front of the staff of the other flag.

3. The flag, when flown at half-staff, should be first hoisted to the peak for an instant and then lowered to the half-staff position. The flag should be again raised to the peak before it is lowered for the day. By "half-staff" is meant lowering the flag to one-half the distance between the top and bottom of the staff. Crepe streamers may be affixed to spear heads or flagstaffs in a parade only by order of the President of the United States.

4. When flags of States, cities, or localities, or pennants of societies are flown on the same halyard with the flag of the United States, the latter should always be at the peak. When the flags are flown from adjacent staffs, the flag of the United States should be hoisted first and lowered last. No such flag or pennant may be placed above the flag of the United States or to the right of the flag of the United States (the viewer's left). When the flag is half-masted, both flags are half-masted, with the US flag at the mid-point and the other flag below.

5. When the flag is suspended over a sidewalk from a rope extending from a house to a pole at the edge of the sidewalk, the flag should be hoisted out, union first, from the building.

6. When the flag of the United States is displayed from a staff projecting horizontally or at an angle from the window sill, balcony, or front of a building, the union of the flag should be placed at the peak of the staff unless the flag is at half-staff.

7. When the flag is used to cover a casket, it should be so placed that the union is at the head and over the left shoulder. The flag should not be lowered into the grave or allowed to touch the ground.

8. 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.

9. That the flag, when carried in a procession with another flag, or flags, should be either on the marching right; that is, the flag's own right, or, if there is a line of other flags, in front of the center of that line.

10. The flag of the United States of America should be at the center and at the highest point of the group when a number of flags of States or localities or pennants of societies are grouped and displayed from staffs.

11. When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should be of approximately equal size. International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace. The order of precedence for flags generally is National flags (US first, then others in alphabetical order in English), State (host state first, then others in the order of admission) and territories (Washington DC, Puerto Rico, etc.), Military (Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard), then other. Read more.

12. When displayed from a staff in a church or public auditorium on or off a podium, the flag of the United States of America should hold the position of superior prominence, in advance of the audience, and in the position of honor at the clergyman's or speaker's right as he faces the audience. Any other flag so displayed should be placed on the left of the clergyman or speaker (to the right of the audience). Please note that the old guidelines differed from this updated and simplified one.

13. When the flag is displayed on a car, the staff shall be fixed firmly to the chassis or clamped to the right fender.

14. When hung in a window, place the blue union in the upper left, as viewed from the street.

There's more V

When worn on the shoulder the stars should face forward, representing the flag charging forward. The opposite would symbolize the flag in retreat. Which is why the French flag is symmetric across the vertical axis.

Just installed my CaliRaised LED fogs. Really easy install.
Up next is the light bar. Should have it by next weekend.

Finally got 35's and some new wheels.

Bluegrass Taco · Jul 1, 2017

Stopped by Oxmoor Toyota and grabbed a pair of new wiper blades. Install took all of 5 minutes, including throwing away packages.

Then a super-clean on the interior, wash and dry exterior, and proper cleaning of glass after last Saturdays off road adventure at Red River Gorge.

Now for a nap.

Sorry but that picture is of a WWII era uniform, the stars forward is a fairly new change that differs from the past/historical display.
Try a Google search and you will see what I'm talking about.
I'm done, back to Tacomas. ...

x2 Yup. Just look at old pics of the uniforms of all services... The union jack facing forward is a new modern thing.

1.5" wheel spacers. I think it has brought to light the fact that I have a weak wheel bearing on the drivers side. The pockets will continue to be emptied.

So, I thought I had loctite when I did the install but I ended up lacking it. I haven't driven over a mile or 10mph since I installed (parking lot), torqued everything properly. Is it a bad idea to drive on, do you guys think?

I drove on spacers without loctite... As long as they are on tight you should be fine... or just run down to the parts store a get some after making sure everything is tight.

That's what I wanted to hear. Thanks. I guess I could use the spray on stuff for added protection, but I imagine that bearing is going to be replaced soon anyway, so I'll probably just wait.

What's the weight of all that? How does it tow? Any passes you need to go up? Any performance mods?

Powerwashed my floor mats. They look brand new again. They pick up so much junk during the winter months. Not bad for nearly 10 year old mats.

Got H11 LEDs in the mail and attempted to install them in my 2012 Tacoma Off Road. The plug on the H11 is a 2 blade design and my lights are a 3 blade plug. Now I'm trying to figure out what lights I should get.
