Its not backwards...that is the proper way to display the flag when on the right side.

The stars are always moving forward.

The blue field of stars should always be in the highest position of honor. When viewing the flag on a wall, the highest position of honor is the upper left when displayed horizontally, and at the top (upper left) when displayed vertically. When displayed on a "moving object" like a person or vehicle, the highest position of honor is the front, and not the rear; so the field of blue should be displayed to the front.

Back when I was younger, I always just pictured it as if it was on a flag pole and where the wind would blow it.

I know that's not technically accurate, but it was good for a kid lol

The flag should always be seen as moving forward, not retreating.

U.S. Military FAQ -- Why is the U.S. flag worn "backwards" on the uniform?
