It isn't an "including, but limited to" sentence. If it was, it would say, "including, but limited to..."

Disagree. The sentence is specific to the uniform of members of a specific uniformed organizations:
However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations.
If it was meant to be presented in a non-exclusive manner (and the wording isn't that restrictive as it is), it should have read to show these organizations/avocations as examples. I see no such wording included.
There doesn't seem to be any part of the paragraph that allows for interpretation other than what qualifies as a member of the four components offered: military personnel, firemen, policemen or a patriotic organization. The final one most likely being the most contentious of the group.
