Flag Requests
My office is happy to help Maine residents purchase an American flag that can be flown over the U.S. Capitol to commemorate a special occasion, event, or holiday.
If you choose to have the flag flown over the Capitol, you will receive along with your flag, a certificate stating the person or organization for whom the flag was flown, the occasion for which it was flown, and the date it was flown.
To order a flag, fill in and print the Flag Request Form. Please make your check or money order payable to "Keeper of the Stationery" and return with the completed form to:
U.S. Senator Angus S. King, Jr.
Attn: Flag Coordinator
359 Dirksen Senate Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20510
Our office cannot accept flag orders via the Internet or over the phone because a check or money order for the complete amount must be received before an order can be processed. Please send the order form and payment at least four weeks prior to the fly date. Once a date has passed, it is no longer possible to purchase a flag flown on that date. Allow an additional four to six weeks for delivery after the fly-date.
Only American flags can be purchased and flown over the Capitol.
