Gee, thanks. I didn't know military service was the only way I could serve my country.

I've not heard this one, either. I've only heard the (essentially) Army rationale for wearing the flag on the right sleeve (place of honor) with the "backward" look (to give the appearance of the flag moving forward).
Snaqs, that is the standard per the US Flag Code.

That's my understanding; I'd never heard the "close to the heart" thing. The only uniform rule I can think of that references something closest to the heart is the order of wear for medals. Highest honor sits nearest the heart, and the others go down and out in order from there.
