I’m in Connecticut for college and I see a lot of cars with a US flag and circle emblem on the back of cars, what does this mean? I have never seen them in New England outside of Connecticut.

If it's blue/green/or red could be for EMS or law enforcement

I think you're referring to the Betsy Ross flag of the original thirteen colonies https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betsy_Ross_flag

It could be but it’s about 2x2 with a silver circle around it and possibly says something on it, haven’t been able to get close enough to one to see it

It’s not that it’s just red white and blue with silver circle around it. Maybe 2x2in typically on the right side of the license plate

Dealership badge?

Sounds like the advertising emblems McDermott Auto Group in East Haven/New Haven affixes to their cars. It’s a waving flag, surrounded by a silver ring that says “McDermott Auto Group.” They are usually affixed next to the license plate. The claim to fly New England’s largest American flag outside their showroom off I-95, hence the flag theme.
