Fixed it. Backwards on the right shoulder so the flag appears to have wind from in front, like your charging forward.

Oh, and Jacksonysk, not to be critical, but is the wind coming from behind and pushing the flames forward on that shoulder? You know that the U.S. Flag always hangs with the stars in the upper left corner, by law, but on the military uniforms, it is backwards on the left shoulder with the stars in the upper right corner so it doesn't look like the wind is from behind and the troopie is retreating. And where's the blood?

I already corrected it. Left, right, whatever. I'm dyslexic.

Friend of mine has a son working on a drilling rig. After a night of drinking, he decided to have one of his buds tattoo a very large HARLEY DAVIDSON across his back, Unfortunately, the tattooist left out the "L", and it says "HAREY DAVIDSON".

At my wife's chiropractic college, a bunch of the guys in her class decided to get tattoos. I think it was the school symbol. The "artist" spelled "Chiropractic" wrong. A guy I used to know was a member of Force Recon in 'Nam. He got a tattoo on his arm that said "Forced Recon." He said "I was drunk when I got it." I don't think anyone would make fun of him or have any adverse comments towards him. Would not be healthy.

I have ghost flames on my right shoulder and bicep but you can only see them when my arm is tan.
