Mostly for when we travel I made up a pole from some spare 1" aluminum tubing and an adjustable bracket from ebay which mounts on the ladder. This replaces a couple we had stuck in the ground on a stick. I'll be using a fairly small flag for the reasons others have noted. It isn't the size of the flag but our need to support my country. I also have a bracket that mounts on the summer site's power pedestal which has been used for about as long as we have spent much of our summers there.
