Have Your Flag Flown Over the U.S. Capitol

Flag Day, celebrated Tuesday, marks 234 years since the adoption of the United States flag on June 14, 1777.

In honor of the holiday, Rep. Andy Harris of Maryland's 1st congressional district announced that he can arrange for constituents' flags to be flown over the U.S. Capitol. 

Residents of his district, which include those living along the entire Eastern Shore and parts of Anne Arundel, Baltimore and Harford counties, may purchase a flag that the congressman's office can schedule to be flown on a specific date, according to the news release. 

Additional details are available on Harris' website: harris.house.gov. 

The congressman also released the following statement: 

"The American flag is among the world's most recognized symbols of liberty. From thirteen stars to fifty, the red, white and blue has been from the bloody beaches of Normandy to the surface of the moon. It flies over the White House in Washington, D.C. and the little white house down the street. Through thick and thin, good times and bad, Old Glory's broad stripes and bright stars have embodied the spirit of the American people; it has persevered."
