I believe that was amended in 2027.

Just one small nitpick, flags on the right arm should be stars forward:
(from the Secretary of the Army FAQ...
http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/FAQs/faqs.aspx)

Q6: How should the American Flag patch be worn?
[image: Flag Patch]

   - The U.S. Code states "no part of the flag should ever be used as a
   costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to
the
   uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of
patriotic
   organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself
   considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a
replica
   should be worn on the left lapel near the heart."
   - The U.S. Code does not address the positioning of the flag patch.
It
   is appropriate to wear an American flag patch on the left or right
sleeve.
   When worn on the left sleeve, the union would appear towards the
front and
   the stripes would run horizontally toward the back. When worn on the
right
   sleeve, it is considered proper to reverse the design so that the
union is
   at the observers right to suggest that the flag is flying in the
breeze as
   the wearer moves forward.
   - Since the law does not specifically address the positioning of the
   patch, a decision is left to the discretion of the organization
prescribing
   the wear. As many states and cities have ordinances pertaining to the
use
   of the flag, you may wish to contact the Attorney General of your
state or
   the City Attorneys office regarding this matter.

Q7: How should the American Flag patch be worn by Army personnel?

HQDA policy has been changed to authorize all soldiers throughout the
force permanent wear of the full-color U.S. Flag cloth replica
(approximately
2"x3") on utility uniforms. The patch is worn on BDUs, Desert BDUs, the
Maternity BDU, the Cold Weather Coat (Field Jacket), Aircrew Battle
Dress Uniform, and the Combat Vehicle Crewman Uniform and Jacket (Cold
Weather).
DA policy states that the patch will be sewn 1/2 inch below the right
shoulder seam of the utility uniform. When the shoulder sleeve
insignia-former wartime service (SSI-FWTS) is worn on the right shoulder
of the utility uniform, the U.S. Flag insignia is placed 1/8 inch below
the SSI-FWTS. The cloth replica is worn so that the star field faces
forward or to the flag's own right. When worn on the right sleeve, it is
considered proper to reverse the design so that the union is at the
observer's right to suggest that the flag is flying in the breeze as the
wearer moves forward.
