Is wearing a flag patch on a backpack against regulations?

Does that mean it's against regs to wear a flag patch on your BDU's?

To me, how can showing pride in the flag be disrespectful? As long as you don't try to wear a real flag but only a representation such as a patch, I think it should be okay. And yes, I do.

Good question. I have a Burning Gripe about our Flag.
I do NOT like seeing it covering anyone's Butt or any other part of our anatomy as an article of clothing (that includes footwear!). I don't care to see it worn as a COVID facemask.
It is MY/OUR FLAG! It deserves respect because to me it represents every one of us who made the ultimate sacrifice; who are living with disabilities because of time serving the USA under this Flag; those of us who gave their lives as Law Enforcement; (the MAJORITY of Law Enforcement people are compassionate, caring, giving people) or First Responders - whether at Oklahoma City, 9/11 or at local disasters.
Too many of us no longer respect much of anything, especially ourselves. we behave in manners our grandparents would hang their heads in shame.
Make political statements if you will, that is your second amendment right. But leave Old Glory out of it. She is hallowed & entitled to our respect. Direct your political statements to the People who need to have their chains jerked, Not the Emblem that should represent all that is good, honorable, and altruistic.

no... for fucks sake man, fly that baby loud and proud! It's our nations colors!

My personal belief is to honor those who Honor the flag. If you decide to reprimand someone for honoring the stripes. Then you need to remember those whom fought and died for those colors. And yes even during vietnam, don't piss on the flag. We are the only country, who's solute isn't showing the Palm of our hand. So think about it, as you lead. Set a president and hold the flag which we all signed that blank check for. The colors Stand and I will support anyone, who show's them.

As per definition of the US code, a flag patch is not considered an official flag any more than a right shoulder patch currently worn on the right shoulder of many uniform variations. With that said, review AR 670-1 along w/ any updates to get the current standards specific to the wear and appearance of military uniforms and related items. As an important side note, it's always a good idea to go beyond the regulations to gain greater fidelity regarding the cornerstone principles (Statues/codes) that provides regulatory guidance.

If you are ONLY talking about the 'Flag Protocol Law', Definitely not. That is putting words into the law that are not written. I had to argue with a resident in my building (a priest) that was always yelling about people wearing flag symbols on or in clothing. If you check with the VFW expert, who is one of the nation's authorities on the subject, What the law speaks of is cutting up a flag and making clothing from it. Imprinting a flag or wearing a flag patch is not against that law or the intent of that law. Now your unit might have its own regulations which are not based on the 'Flag Protocol Law' and that would be different, but only Germane to that individual unit.

According to the current U.S. Flag Code, YES - that's THE regulation which it's against! The flag code prohibits wearing flags on garments! IT NEEDS TO BE REVISED to reflect current pride, allowing Americans to "wear" the U.S. Flag in the same manner as so many other world citizens wear theirs! Write to your Congressional delegation! (I have!)

Ah, the transition between soldier and government employee bureaucrat.

It was time you retired. I fought for that flag and my country and I will put the flag wherever I want. Fuck those Regulations. Who really gives a shit but you! Why don't you find something else to do other than try and give us veterans hell. If you are going to write stupid shit like this in here be prepared to get slammed!! I'm retired too and am 70 years old but I don't spend my time writing shit like this
