The stars are always at the top left hand corner!!! Not always. When displaying the flag on a wall, they stars are always on the left. When the flag is on military personnel, it's on the right because "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." |

Is that indeed true, or just the opinions of a couple current/retired vets at the time of the story? |

RIF-Reading is fundamental, even for SDSU grads. |

You also initially explained that there was only one way to display the flag, so the same multiple personality disorder that has you lost on a SDSU message board is also conflicted on this issue.

when a flag has been reified and codified it has lost any meaning that it is purported to have

Follow along here, I know you're slow, but try. The pic he post was of a US soldier. I explained correctly why the stars are on the right for military personnel. If you're going to display the flag tomorrow, say on your garage door, the stars should go at the top left hand corner. Do I need to type slower, so even a SDSU grad can understand? |

I explained correctly why the stars are on the right for military personnel. If you're going to display the flag tomorrow, say on your garage door, the stars should go at the top left hand corner. Do I need to type slower, so even a SDSU grad can understand? Just to be clear. The rule is the blue field sits in the place of honor, front or to the right as it sits. Therefore when looking at it on display hanging down, it will appear to be on the left to the observer, but is actually on the right as it sits. Likewise, when two flags are raised in the US, the US flag is to the right, although when looking at the flags from the front, it appears to your left. Simple.

and to be fair, I break the law every day, as I volunteer in an elementary classroom, and omit under god every time I say the Pledge of Allegiance. It wasn't part of the original pledge, and I don't feel it is fair to people who have differing beliefs from the Christianity that people think our nation was founded on. God does not equal a domination or is God soley a Christian belief. I would cut the whole pledge in any event. JMO. The Ed Code only says the daily observance has to be a patriotic one. The Pledge of Allegiance seems - like so many other things in schools - to be something that people do because "it's always been done". Also, it's the one observance mentioned in Ed Code: … according to Cal. Educ. Code §52720 In every public elementary school each day during the school year at the beginning of the first regularly scheduled class or activity period at which the majority of the pupils of the school normally begin the schoolday, there shall be conducted appropriate patriotic exercises. The giving of the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America shall satisfy the requirements of this section.
In every public secondary school there shall be conducted daily appropriate patriotic exercises. The giving of the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America shall satisfy such requirement. Such patriotic exercises for secondary schools shall be conducted in accordance with the regulations which shall be adopted by the governing board of the district maintaining the secondary school. , So, I imagine the daily observation could be a recitation of the Gettysburg Address, or listening to the Marine Corps Hymn, or … I suppose … even chanting USA - USA - USA - USA.  |

i think it's respectful and i like the flag patch on hats or uniforms or wherever - i can't think of a reason that outweighs the patriotism of playing with your country's flag on your uniform.
but the obvious question is this: which aztecs uniform has a flag on it?
