Flying a Flag over the U.S. Capitol

I am pleased to offer residents of the 10th Congressional District the service of having a United States flag flown over the U.S. Capitol Building. Flags can be flown any day of the year in honor of a person or an event. Should you have any questions please feel free to contact my Washington, D.C. staff at (202) 225-2095.

If you would like to order a U.S. flag from our office, please use the flag order form to calculate the price and shipping costs.

Flags are available in different sizes and fabrics. All flag purchases include a dedication message, which may be customized for the recipient. You may choose to have your new flag flown over the U.S. Capitol for an additional charge. Flags flown over the Capitol include a certificate, which may be personalized for a particular person, event, or organization.

The order form will create a printable order for you to print and send to our office with your check.

Care of the Flag

Most outdoor flags can be washed in mild detergent and thoroughly rinsed. Indoor and parade flags should be dry-cleaned. Damaged flags can be repaired and used as long as the overall dimensions are not noticeably altered. American Legion Posts and local governments often have facilities to dispose of unserviceable flags. Store your flag in a clean, well ventilated area.
