U.S. Flag Requests
The United States flag is a living symbol of the principles of our great country -- liberty and justice for all. Senator Hutchison would be pleased to obtain for Texans a flag flown over the U.S. Capitol building. Whether for personal use or to commemorate a special occasion, the significance of this flag will be long appreciated.
With several weeks notice, a United States flag can be flown over the U.S. Capitol Building on the date you specify. In order to efficiently process such a request, please note the following guidelines.
Before a U.S. flag can be flown over the Capitol, it must be purchased. Therefore, in order to process your request, we must receive a check or money order for the complete amount made payable to "The Keeper of the Stationery," along with a completed flag request form, available as a WORD file and a PDF file. (You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view the PDF file)
Please mail the check and form to the following address:
Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison
(ATTN: FLAGS)
284 Russell Senate Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20510-4304
Due to mail security procedures in the Senate, please allow at least three weeks for delivery of your request to our office. Once the flag is flown over the Capitol, allow
an additional 6-10 weeks for delivery. If no specific fly date is requested, flags will be flown on the first available date, usually within two weeks of receiving your request.
In order to process your request in a timely manner, please limit your order to THREE flags. If you would like to request more than three flags, please contact the Senator's Washington office at 202-224-5922. We regret that due to the volume of requests, as well as budget constraints, our office is unable to donate flags.
If you have questions regarding a flag request you have already submitted, you can e-mail us at flags@hutchison.senate.gov.
