That patch is velcro’ed. Look closely around the flag and you will see that it looks like a flag patch on top of another patch. Then look just under the bottom right corner of the sign on his other shoulder and you will see the Velcro area with no patch.

According to mission and unit, the flag patch is on velcro so it can be removed. Ever seen a SEAL wearing a flag on his camis? Sheesh, much of what is on army and Marine uniforms is now attached by velcro. Do some research on military.com.
