    Think about it like it’s on a flag pole and the logic makes sense.

    Per http://www.usflag.org/flagpatch.html which can be applied for proper respect of the flag even with civilian use.

    Why is the Flag patch "backwards" on Military uniforms?

    Following is a quote from the Department of Defense website...

    "Thank you for your inquiry about the proper placement of the American flag on the uniform of the U.S. Armed Forces.

    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 appreciate and share your concern for the respectful display of our American flag on the uniform of the U.S. Armed Forces."

    For more information on Army Regulation 670-1 please visit the following web site, http://www.usapa.army.mil/pdffiles/r670_1.pdf



    I've also heard it noted as: the flag should always be shown moving forward, never in retreat. Should the object the flag is attached to show it with the star field be shown on the rear of the object, it'd signify defeat...which of course isn't how we want to represent our flag.

    So on the passenger side of the truck, it's good edicate to show the reverse image so our flag is advancing, and yes...think of where it'd attach on a flag pole and always place the imaginary flag pole on the leading front of any object/person it's placed upon.

    You walk with the flag not against it. THink about holding a flag pole and walking. The flag will orient itself the way its on the truck

    Flags always go into battle with the stars facing the battle if the stars are in the back it means the flag is retreating .Speaking As a USMC vet we don't retreat Semper Fi. That is the short version of the reason for the stars forward . Ask any military members they will tell u the same
