WASHINGTON -- Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa announced today that Iowans who request American flags flown over the U.S. Capitol now can order them online.
Flags are available in both nylon and cotton in multiple sizes. Nylon flags are available in 3x5, 4x6, 5x8; and cotton flags are available in 3x5 and 5x8. Each flag is accompanied by a certificate with the date the flag was flown along with the occasion.
“Flags flown over the U.S. Capitol make wonderful gifts for birthdays, graduations, retirement, and other occasions. I’m glad to now offer Iowans the convenient option of visiting my website and ordering online,” Grassley said.
Flags may be ordered online or by mail. Flags can be ordered online by completing this form. Requests must be made at least seven days in advance and must not exceed 45 days in advance of the requested flying date.
Flags may also be ordered by mail by completing this form and sending with payment to:
Senator Chuck Grassley
United States Senate
Attn: Flags
135 Hart Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510-1501
Because of security-related delays in mail delivery to the U.S. Capitol complex, flag requests being mailed should be sent at least six weeks prior to the requested flying date.
Payment must be received before a request can be processed. Flags are delivered to the requestor approximately six weeks after they have been flown.
