Purchase a U.S.Flag

Purchase a U.S.Flag that has flown over the Capitol

Anyone can purchase a U.S. Flag that has flown over the United States Capitol building in Washington D.C. This can be accomplished writing a letter to your Senator with your request. Their address can be obtained by calling your local Public Library and asking for it or use the Senators of the 109th Congress web site to locate contact information for your Senator.

You may request that your flag be flown on a certain date such as a birthday or anniversary. Be sure to mail in your request at least 4 weeks prior to the date you have selected. Your flag will be mailed to you and arrive 3-4 weeks after the date you have specified (Since September 11th, 2001 it may take longer to receive your flag). Enclosed with your flag will be a Certificate from The Architect Of The Capitol certifying that your flag was flown as requested. If you mention in your letter that this flag is for any specific occasion, that information will be included on the certificate.

In the past I had provided a link here to a Flag Ordering Form. I have discontinued the Form because prices can vary at different Senators web sites. Flag order information is typically found under "Constituent Services"

I have purchased several of these flags in this way and I can attest to their high quality. The stars are embroidered and the stripes are individualy sewn. A great gift to yourself or to a person of any age on a special occasion.
