As a way to honor your loved one, this year for Mesothelioma Awareness Day, have a flag flown over Capitol Hill.
The Architect of the Capitol’s Capitol Flag Program is set up so that individuals may acquire an American flag to be flown over the Capitol Building in Washington, DC. These flags are flown each day (minus Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day), weather-permitting, and are issued with a Certificate of Authenticity from the Architect of the Capitol. The certificate displays the date the flag was flown and for what occasion.
We highly encourage those interested in receiving a flag flown in honor of your loved one on National Mesothelioma Awareness Day to contact your Representative to submit the request. Requests should be made at least two weeks in advance to allow for processing. Find your representative’s contact information.
Be sure to specify that you wish your flag to be flown in honor of your loved one on September 26, which is the “National Mesothelioma Awareness Day”!
