Why is the American Flag on our "Forward Edition" Flask, Reversed?
Traditionally, the American flag is displayed with the stars in the upper left corner and the stripes running horizontally. However, on our hip flask, the flag is reversed, with the stars facing to the right and the stripes running vertically. This creates a visually striking and distinctive look that is sure to turn heads.
But the reversed American flag isn't just for show - it has a special meaning:
The American flag is typically displayed with the stars in the upper left corner (also known as the canton) and the stripes running horizontally. However, when the flag is displayed on a military uniform or vehicle, it is often reversed, with the canton being displayed on the right side instead of the left. This is done so that the flag appears to be "flying" in the wind as the person or vehicle moves forward, instead of the stars indicating a direction of retreat. Instead, always moving forward.
Alternately the reversed American flag is sometimes used to indicate that a military unit is in a state of distress or is in need of help. The reversed flag is a signal of dire circumstances and is typically used only in situations where the unit is facing a life-threatening situation, such as a natural disaster or enemy attack. It is not intended to be a political statement or a sign of disrespect, but rather a way to alert others to the unit's urgent need for assistance.
While not battle tested, the reversed flag serves as a reminder of the bravery and sacrifice of our armed forces -- Always moving forward.
Not only is this hip flask a stylish everyday accessory, but it is also a tribute to the men and women who defend our country. It makes for a thoughtful gift for any military member or patriotic individual.
