Is there also something like that in the US (maybe on the 4th of july or so) that there is an alteration/addition to the flag to show/honor a special occasion?
I have no idea if this is specific dutch or if other countries have something similar too.
Looks like this in my country (sorry, don't have a picture of my own flag alas and that is obviously not my house  ):

According to the US Flag Code, here is a quote:
(c) No other flag or pennant should be placed above or, if on the same level, to the right of the flag of the United States of America, except during church services conducted by naval chaplains at sea, when the church pennant may be flown above the flag during church services for the personnel of the Navy. No person shall display the flag of the United Nations or any other national or international flag equal, above, or in a position of superior prominence or honor to, or in place of, the flag of the United States at any place within the United States or any Territory or possession thereof: Provided, That nothing in this section shall make unlawful the continuance of the practice heretofore followed of displaying the flag of the United Nations in a position of superior prominence or honor, and other national flags in positions of equal prominence or honor, with that of the flag of the United States at the headquarters of the United Nations.
