b]The little Arrow you refer to is the National Ribbon and should not be worn with out the pocket flap. [/b]
The ribbon and arrow denotes that a person was inducted as a member of the OA, and the lodge patch indicates membership in the lodge. It is not necessary to be a member of a lodge to wear the ribbon and arrow, and it is not a requirement if you are a member of a lodge to wear the pocket flap patch.
Sorry, but you got it worng!
