only patches worn on right shoulder are reversed-the blue star field always faces towards the front, with the red and white stripes behind.

Think of the flag, as loose, attached to Soldier's arm like a flag pole. As Soldier moves forward, red & white stripes flow to the back.

The blue field of stars should always be in the highest position of honor, this accomplishes that.
