| Posted: | | | | Ive wondered this a few times, why American soldiers have the American flag oriented differently? -> ![](http://mensa-barbie.com/bloggerimages/valiant_american_soldier_p copy.JPG) ![](http://farm1.static.flickr.com/122/272547302_82078f083b.jpg) vs. ![](http://new-york-pictures.com/d/1072-4/New+York+Stock+Exchange+Building+with+huge+American+Flag+at+Wall+Street+NY.jpg) |

| Posted: | | | | They actually all have it the same. The blue field goes forward, so the left and right shoulders will be different. |

| Posted: | | | | They do them like that on the sides of buses, etc., too. Normally, the blue field must be on the top left when the flag is displayed flat, as on a wall, whether horizontally or vertically, as shown in the New York Stock Exchange photo in the first post. | | | Last edited: by CalebAndCo |
