    Hello, Yellowfin -- welcome!

    Can you fly a military ( Marine Corp flag ) below the American Flag on the same pole?

    Yes. Generally speaking, you can fly any non-national flag below the US flag on the same pole. The main exceptions are flags of international organizations such as the UN, NATO or the ILO, which rate the same precedence as national flags.

    Many people (including myself) have created personal flags to represent ourselves. Flying your personal flag below the US flag is a nice way to symbolize your citizenship.
