There are indeed various flags, recognizable among them are various state flags, the flag of the US Marine Corps and, notably, the old Confederate flag (not the union jack, the one with the "X" and the stars, but their national flag, there is a difference).

I do remember reading somewhere that these flags were brought here as part of the Mount Weather cultural preservation project, which is also why there's a bunch of culturally significant paintings scattered throughout the Mountain, though I do stress that this was never said in the series and is technically not canonical.

Though the presence of the Marine Corps flag can easily be explained that Mount Weather was a military base and as such would have military flags (trust me they're all over the place in formal rooms+offices) its trickier to explain the state flags, and most of all, the confederate flag.
