The other night, we were watching Medal of Honor recipient Sgt.
Salvatore Giunta on TV. He was in uniform, though not a formal dress
uniform. My wife noticed that on his right arm he wore a flag patch
that appeared backwards - the blue field with stars was in the upper
right.

I've never seen (or at least never noticed) that before. Actually, I
thought the stars in the upper left was specified in the flag code. Do
any of you have any insight on this?

BTW, Giunta is definitely a guy you'd want on your team. Brains, guts
and humility.
