We have been informed by legal counsel to the United States Senate that, due to the government shutdown, some of our office functions must be temporarily suspended. Regrettably, that may cause a delay in response from our office, but our team will work to track your request and contact you when possible. Depending on the duration of the shutdown, time-sensitive requests may not receive a response prior to the preferred date.
Senator Schatz’s office can help you purchase an American flag that has been flown over the U.S. Capitol Building to honor individuals for their retirements, promotions in the military, or other special occasions.
Flags flown on a specific date will receive a certificate that includes the name of the person for whom the flag was flown, the occasion, and the date it was flown. If you do not specify a date for your flag to be flown, a pre-flown flag will be provided. Pre-flown flags do not come with a certificate. For this option, please enter N/A in the "In Honor of" section of the form below.
Due to heightened security in the U.S. Capitol, mail service to my Washington, D.C. Senate office is significantly delayed. Please use communication alternatives such as e-mail, phone, or fax when possible.
