Flags -- Red, White and Blue

Being our country is involved in a war, I prefer my flag on my right shoulder with the blue field facing forward. I know it appears as if this is backwards, in reality there is a reason. During the old days when armies faced each other in long lines and began marching towards each other, the flag would unfurl and the blue field would lead the way. Thus, during wartime, the military wears the flag with the blue field forward. During peacetime, the flag was worn on the left shoulder, blue field forward.

Of course, Arkansas does not allow officials to wear the flag at all. GRRRR!

That's how its suppose to be displayed(war or no war), if you put the flag on your shoulder the blue should be facing foward. Like you said, many people think its on backwards.
