Senator Jeff Merkley comes from a family of fighters. According to family lore, his grandmother lived for a time in a boxcar during the Great Depression. Jeff’s mother stretched a dollar as far as anyone possibly could, and his father overcame a serious illness and went on to work in a lumber mill and become a union machinist. Life wasn’t glamorous, but together, Jeff’s parents saved enough to buy a modest home, take their children on annual camping vacations, and retire comfortably after a lifetime of contributing to their community.
American flags are available for purchase through Jeff's office in Washington, D.C. for special events, ceremonies, gifts, or celebrations of achievement. Upon request, we can also have flags flown over the U.S. Capitol before sending them. A certificate from our office will accompany flags flown over the Capitol as a record of the event.
The quickest way to receive a flag from our office is by filling out the online order form using the link below. Flags ordered this way take approximately four weeks to process and ship.
Please note that flags flown over the Capitol on a specific date will take longer to process and ship depending on the date you request for flying. If you are submitting a flag request to be flown on a specific date, allow at least two weeks after the requested date of flight for your flag to arrive by mail.
