Hi Bruce,

Flag etiquette as described in the WBCCI Blue Book is pretty extensive, but
it mostly only concerns the flying of the US flag with other flags. In
respect to your question here is the pertinent section:

THE UNITED STATES FLAG CODE (6/26/02)
(from the American Legion website)
Title 4, United States Code, Chapter 1
' 7. Position and manner of display
(f) When flags of States, cities, or localities, or pennants of societies
are flown on the same halyard with the flag of the United States, the latter
should always be at the peak.  When the flags are flown from adjacent
staffs, the flag of the United States should be hoisted first and lowered
last.  No such flag or pennant may be placed above the flag of the United
States or to the United States flag's right.

There does not appear to be any other rules concerning the flying of flags
and pennants of societies, and of course these rules only apply if you fly
the US Flag and/or the flag of your state. If you simply desire to fly
pennants and/or decorative flags do what you want. You are a member of the
VAC and there shouldn't be any problem flying that flag anytime or place
that you want.
