Thanks for all the info pshsx1! I've always like Sig Ep's flag in particular.

Two minor points if I may. First, it's simply a Greek cross, not a Greek Orthodox cross. A Greek cross is one which all four arms are the same length, as opposed to a Latin crossm, where the vertical part is longer than the horizontal part.

Also, by "Escruscion" do you mean "escutcheon"? That's simply fancy heraldic speech for "shield." The scroll at the bottom can simply be called the scroll or (more commonly, heraldically anyway) the "motto."
