United States Flags

One of the services I provide to Hawaii constituents is the opportunity to have a flag flown over the United States Capitol. You can obtain a flag by filling out the request form below and mailing it, along with proper payment, to my office. (Sorry, I cannot accept flag requests via e-mail.) A flag certificate will accompany the flag verifying that the flag was flown over the U.S. Capitol. This certificate will also contain information provided by you when you fill out the form below as to whom and when the flag was flown. Flag Form: PDF/Word Document
