for years.. Thanks for posting.. and noticing.
It’s the little things that bite ya the hardest in the end.
I detest the misuse of the flag, especially flying it with another flag on the same flag pole.
Actually I saw the same thing, and asked someone I know in the NG. The answer was that is symbolizes the flag waving back as the soldiers advance.
Makes sense, to me at least.
IIRC, the flag on Marine One is backward.
