Want a 3’x5′ nylon American-made flag shipped to your house for $13.00? Then you need to contact the office of Dick Durbin, Mark Kirk, or your congressional representative.
Flags are available in a variety of sizes, and in both cotton and nylon versions, at low costs through Congress. If you want the flag that has been flown over the Capitol, it will cost an extra $4.05. You can specify the date of flying and receive a personalized certificate honoring that. It makes a thoughtful present for a special occasion.
