I already looked and I know I have to pay but after I got an email from my local reps office, I am confused.

Can someone tell me how this is done?

I went to the dc gift shop and bought a flag.  They flew it. Folded it and gave me the flag and certificate.

I dont have the time to get up there so I am doing this over the net.

I filled out the info here: https://allen.house.gov/forms/flagrequest/ and I clicked "Calculate Total." All that happened was that the page refreshed.

I think that is what I did last time. I got an email from Rep. Allen's staff saying: "I received your message about getting a flag that has been flown over the Capitol and would be happy to assist you with this. In order to have a flag flown over the Capitol please visit our website and fill out the necessary forms https://allen.house.gov/forms/flagrequest/ . Once you have filled out the form please mail it, along with a check, to our DC office. Please make checks payable to: RICK ALLEN OFFICE SUPPLY ACCOUNT. "


I cannot get a total price, wtf.

I ordered one for my FIL, you contact your rep or senator through their web page:


http://www.aoc.gov/trades-and-areas-practice/capitol-flag-program


there should be a services option with "Flag Requests" on their web page. Then just fill out the form and give a CC number.

Not to be a dick, but WTF would you want one at this point, Washington, and the Capitol has made a joke of what this country was founded for...I don't want shit associated with any of these assholes at this point...

I'd much rather have one that flew over the Arizona Memorial, or a FOB....

It's the price of the flag plus $5 to fly it over the Capitol.

Shipping was the only thing i couldn't see, their site seems to be broken.

My Senators site (Dean Heller) gives me a downloadable form to fill out and send with a check to his local office.



I'm just debating whether I want a flag flown over FBHO's house. And yes, it's because he thinks it's 'his' house.

Am I the only one bothered by the fact we need to pay for a flag that's flown over our government? Especially since we've already paid for it.

Usually contact forms for your rep, and or senator in the drop down menu have "flag request".



You can specify a date that the flag was flown over the capitol.  



The one I have was flown 2/23, that was the day the flag was flown at mount Surabachi, and my dad was present when it was raised, the real picture not the famous second raising.

The page he was using had the flag request form.  It is just a poorly constructed page.

Would GD complain more if they just gave them away?  Yeah, probably.
