Request a FlagInformation about our nation's flagThe Federal Citizen Information Center maintains a free, easy-to-read online edition of Our Flag by the Joint Committee on Printing. This Congressional publication briefly describes the history of the flag, and sets forth the practices and observances appropriate to its display. Our Flag is an important publication for students, veterans organizations and anyone else with interest in the history and proper display of our nation's flag. Order flags that have flown over the Capitol BuildingOfficial U.S. Flags flown over the Capitol Building are a great way to commemorate a special occasion or honor a loved one. The Architect of the Capitol issues an official certificate with a short, personalized message that accompanies each flown flag.

These high-quality, American-made flags are available in cotton or nylon and in varying sizes (3x5, 4x6 and 5x8). If you would like a flag flown on a specific date, it must be request four to six weeks in advance (alternative dates are recommended). Please note that our office cannot guarantee the delivery of flags by specific dates, ceremonies or occasions.
