Flags

At your request, I can arrange to have an American flag flown over the U.S. Capitol. Each flag comes with its own certificate stating the date it was flown and in honor of what event it was flown. This certificate of authenticity signed by the Architect of the Capitol accompanies each flag.

To order a flag, print out a copy of an order form or use the online form below, and send it with your check to the following address:

Congressman Emanuel Cleaver
1433 Longworth House Office Building Washington, D.C. 20515

If you are requesting that the flag be flown on a specific date, please mail your order so that it arrives at my office at least one month prior to the date you are requesting. Your flag cannot be processed until payment has been received, and unfortunately prices are subject to change.

Purchase a U.S. flag through my office. There is no limit on the number of flags you may order. You may also request that your new flag be flown over the Capitol for an additional charge. Flags may be flown for a particular person, event, or organization, and may be flown on a specific date. A certificate of recognition is included with each flag.

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 utilized 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.
