| Our fire chief insists we wear the American Flag with the stars facing the rear. Being former military, I was taught the stars lead you into battle (face forward). Some departments weare their flags facing forward, some backwards. Which is correct? Thanks, Fireman48430

| I believe you are correct! You're not dealing with the only backward opinion check out my post, Fire Department Backward Flag!

See my 4 March 2007 post in the "American Flag Etiquette" section in the "American Flag Shoulder Patch" thread. The bottom line is that the union should face forward. Regards, Peter Ansoff
