As a staffer in a Congressional office, we do take flag orders. The
flags, from 3x5 to 5x8 are relatively inexpensive if you compare the
prices to retail. My office will provide complimentary flags for
display at schools or public buildings but do charge all others. Some
offices such as mine will also limit the number of flags that a
constituent may purchase.
When ordering flags please give the member's office at least three weeks
notice if you want a flag flown on a particular date. Also be aware
that it may take as much as six weeks for the flag to be returned to the
member's office and mailed to the requester.
The charges for flags include a flying fee that each member's office is
billed. A 3x5 cotton flag costs $15.61 and a nylon is $14.14.
I recently had a flag flown for my son on the date of his Eagle Board of
Review. By the time the paperwork was back from nationals, his flag was
in and presented to him.
If you have any questions concerning flags, please feel free to email me
privately.
Happy Holidays!!
