well I'm going to have to agree with jocha here and say that the Israeli flag does not belong on the patch...

This just goes to show what political correctness is going to do to the world, we feel it necessary to represent a country of someone flying on OUR aircraft and we don't put our flag on our patch...there is something very wrong with that...i don't believe that he should be pointed out specifically because hes Israeli....that to me....makes no sense....maybe I'm not liberal enough to understand but this is America...and NASA is an American organization.....and the shuttle took off from American soil....and those men represented America no matter what country they were from...
