USA Reverse Flag Patch – Hook Back (SKU: F5699)

Official Military-Style Uniform Flag Patch

This is the correct reverse U.S. flag patch designed for wear on OCP/ACU uniforms—just like it’s worn across the U.S. military and other uniformed organizations.

Authorized for wear by:

• U.S. Army
• U.S. Air Force
  
• Military Auxiliary Members
• Multiple State Defense Forces (SDFs) and State Guards
• Other organizations using OCP/ACU uniforms
  

This is the only flag patch we offer.  We do not carry subdued or UV flag patches. 

Why the Flag is “Reversed”

This is not a mistake—it’s intentional.

The reverse flag is worn so that the stars always face forward, giving the appearance of the flag moving forward—not retreating.

It’s a long-standing military tradition representing:

• Forward movement
• Strength
• Never backing down

⚠️ Field Reality Check

👉 Get more than one. These patches have a way of disappearing—laundry, field use, gear swaps… it happens.

👉 If you’re setting up multiple uniforms, you’ll want a flag patch for each set so you’re not constantly swapping gear around.
