I have always enjoyed the show even with hollywoods liberal portrayal of my beloved profession. However, I cannot stand by and not say something about their lack of "American Flag Ettiquette". Episode after episode this year Tommy Gavin's character has an FDNY jacket with a LEFT shoulder patch on his Right shoulder. I know most people dont recognize this or even care, but in the "REAL" world we do love our flag, and this is a constant insult. It is understood that an American flag shoulder patch should ALWAYS lead with the stars at the front as if you were carrying it into battle. I know the hollywood liberals wont care a single second but if you are interested:
Excerpts from The Flag Code of the United States -- Public Law 94-344, July 7, 1976.

"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." U.S. Code, Title 4, Chapter 1, Section 8(j) The National Flag Foundation suggests "...we recommend that the flag patch on the left sleeve of a uniform should have the union to the viewer's left while a patch on the right sleeve should be displayed with the union to the viewer's right so that, in both cases, the flag is facing forward and is streaming to the back as the person moves forward."
