Flag on uniforms

When wearing the american flag as part of the firefighters uniform...

When wearing the american flag as part of the firefighters uniform should
there be other patches worn underneath it? Example; we wear the flag patch
on the upper portion of the right sleeve and an emergency medical technician
patch below it. Your advice in this matter will be of great importance.

Thank You,
Station Chief Paul

Chief Paul,

If your firefighters wear the American flag on their shirtsleeve(s) you may or may not wear other patches beneath the American flag. There is no steadfast rule on other patches beneath the flag, although note that the American flag should always be placed at the highest point on the sleeve--meaning above all other patches, insignia, etc.
