Flying Flag Over Capitol

As a Member of Congress, I am able to provide United States flags as an excellent patriotic gift idea for friends, colleagues, and family. Please note that checks must be made payable to "Office Supply Account of Congressman Ruben Hinojosa."

Also, if you wish to have your flag flown over the Capitol, a certificate will arrive with your flag to indicate what day it was flown. The Architect of the Capitol can use a number of phrases on the certificate to indicate the reason it is being flown. The phrase "in honor of" cannot be used because the flag itself is an honor. The phrases that can be used are: "flown for", "presented to", "in recognition of", "in memory of", and "to commemorate."

Please note on the form what you would like written on the certificate. If you have any questions regarding flag requests, feel free to contact my Washington office at 202-225-2531. Due to the high volume of flag requests, please note that it may take up to three months to receive your flag.
