A question, after watching "war movies" over the weekend..
and, Mods, if I'm way off base here, please remove... but maybe an answer on the side.

Throughout our latest war, GWOT, our warriors wear the American flag, facing forward, as the flag would be going into battle. I like that. I do remember discussion of this as we witnessed the beginnings of this war on our TV screens.

Yet, each time I watch a "War Movie," (aka a WWII movie) the American flag has the stars on the left. And there have been lots of war movies this weekend.

When did this change? Is there a part of history I've missed? Coming here with the question, cause my Marine is on duty at 5th and St. Peter Ave, unable to answer my question.

Thanks...
