Good stuff and great pix!

[MissAmericanPie]

Iraq is reallying coming along nicely. It's an historic moment really, and Bush should and will get historical credit for it, if the liberals don't get to revise history that is.

[Marysecretary]

Thanks, Dio. A GREAT job as always. The Iraqis are a handsome and beautiful people.

[El Gato]

I assume you are refering to this section:

(i) When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the union should be uppermost and to the flag's own right, that is, to the observer's left. When displayed in a window, the flag should be displayed in the same way, with the union or blue field to the left of the observer in the street.

That applies to a flag that is displayed against a wall or in a window. I believe the flag patch is supposed to represent a flying flag, such as one held by a flag-bearer in a parade, which when viewed from the right of someone moving forward, (that is with the "wind" of their movement causing the flag to be behind the staff relative to the direction of movement) would put the field on the observers right, as with the patch.

Thank you, Dio!

[BigShinyPackard]

BUMP
I always look for your postings! Thanks!

[McGavin999]

GREAT pictures Dio, thank you.

[sgtusmc]

The flag should be "flying forward", just like looking at it from both sides of a flagpole. if it was the other way around it would be running away, and we don't run away.

[BushisTheMan]

Thanks again. You and our military ROCK!

[maica]

When the flag is painted on a plane or helicopter, it has the blue field in the forward position on both sides of the 'ship.'

[HiJinx]

I sent the URL for yesterday's post to a former co-worker who was activated and sent to Iraq. Here is her comment back in e-mail:

Yes, there has been a lot of change although the general public does not see it. Many Iraqis are coming forward, even turning in their own family members. Most of the Iraqi peole are wonderful; it is the minority, whom still follow Sadaam (and Al Queda) we need to worry about.

There is a lot left to do....and it is the worst; more difficult than the occupation.

Very interesting.

[Old Sarge]

Now, is THAT a look of determined willpower, or what?

[MissAmericanPie]

God bless her and our troops. God bless those Iraqi's that want to avail themselves of the chance to experience freedom, justice and individual worth. I hope they make it despite the retoric from the left who would like to see everything good fail.

[Romad Wife]

The Flag is backwards cause someone goofed on the sewing of these patches. Maybe someone should have sent them back.

[Alamo-Girl]

Bump!

[eureka!]

Bump for your truth telling array, Dio. Bless you and continuing thanks...

[Peach]

Beautiful. The Iraqi costumes are so colorful, the people look so happy.

Blessings to all our troops and allies.

[ppaul]

The Flag is backwards cause someone goofed on the sewing of these patches. Maybe someone should have sent them back.

My thoughts exactly.
I don't buy the argument that it looks like it's flying.
It is not displayed correctly, and that is dissin' the flag - period.

[WaterDragon]

In Tikrit, at the entrance of the city .

President George Bush Blvd.

LOL! Great name for the main blvd in Tikrit! Pray for our troops....for their safety and success in all their missions all over the world.

Army Regulation 670-1 (http://www.usapa.army.mil/pdffiles/r670_1.pdf ), Wear and Appearance of Army Uniforms and Insignia, is the governing authority for the wear of Army uniforms. Paragraph 28-18 governs the wear of the United States Flag on Army Uniforms.

The flag may only be worn on the utility and organizational uniforms (such as the camouflage BDU). The flag may only be worn during joint-duty and multinational deployments. When the servicemember returns to home station, the flag must be removed.

Chapter 1, Title 4, United States Code, provides for the design of the U.S. flag and specifies the colors as red, white, and blue. Colors other than red, white, and blue violate the U.S. Code; therefore, subdued-colored flags are not authorized for wear. Joint commanders have to make the decision as to whether or not the wear of a full-color flag, for morale purposes, is more important than having all aspects of the uniform camouflaged.

When approved for wear, the full-color U.S. flag cloth replica is sewn 1/2 inch below the right shoulder seam of the temperate, hot-weather, enhanced hot-weather, and desert BDU; the BDU field jacket; and the cold-weather uniform. The flag is worn on the right shoulder, because, in the military, the "place of honor" is to a military member's right.

The full-color U.S. flag cloth replica is worn so that the star field faces forward, or to the flag’s own right. When worn in this manner, the flag is facing to the observer’s right, and gives the effect of the flag flying in the breeze as the wearer moves forward.

So, no - it's not wrong.

[WOSG]

pretty woman at the start, awesome stars at the end (the nebula I mean, but Bruce Willis is cool too), and heros in between.

That Paul Bremer pic is funny too. he's like the king in the grey flannel suit.

bump of appreciation!

[JamminJAY]

The "reverse field"
Used because if you place the blue field left as one would think, the flag would fly as if Our Warrior is retreating.
Painted on aircraft and such the same way.

[bonesmccoy]

What's Jerry Seinfeld doing in that picture?
(LOL...see person under red ribbon in her left hand?)

[Rightly Biased]

Freedom Bump Thanks Diogenesis.

[GEC]

Thanks for the DOD slides.

It's very interesting to see the force comparisons with Desert Storm.

In a single decade, it's amazing the transformation that computer networking has made in changing the way the war was won.

It continues I'm sure in the way the peace is being won on the ground in Iraq.

It's great to see the cache of RPGs picked up.

Bump! Diogenesis threads should reach a wider audience.

Any ideas?

My brain needs recharging. My soul, moreso.

You put so much work into these threads! I hope there is some way for our troops to see them.
