Yes, but these are only flown on state/town government buildings (and maybe public spaces) with Old Glory on top and the individual state flag on the bottom. I cannot say that I have seen anyone fly a state flag at their home. I would go as far as to say that most people would not be able to identify their state flag! lol! Some state buildings in the south also fly the Confederate flag which is our reigning political issue when it comes to flag flying.

So...I can see where the political complications could come into it. I am fascinated by our similarities/differences. Just to make sure that I have this correct in my brain, St George's Cross is the white flag with the red cross correct? I will go out on a limb and say that most Americans would associate the Union Jack as the British flag.
