List,
I got one of these flags from a Desert Storm soldier when I was in Saudi
Arabia in '91. I asked about the reversal and since it has to go on the
right shoulder the star field goes on the leading edge signifying forward
movement. A critical point in soldiering, no? I have since aquired several
of these. Don't ask my wife why.
