Hate to agree with the HOA on this but you’re only supposed to fly the current flag.

Nope.

“By law, a star is added to the U.S. Flag on the 4th of July following the admission of a State(s) to the Union. Thus the 27 different flags, each with more stars than the previous flag, as states were added over the years. However, it was not until the Executive Order of June 24, 1912, that the order of the stars and the proportions of the flag was prescribed.
Each of the former U.S. flags: 13 stars through 49 stars, is still a legal flag and may be flown at any time, as no U.S. Flag ever becomes obsolete.”
