Flags used for a civilian retirement are generally
purchased by the supervisor or paid for with donations from the unit. Visit
the website for your
Senator or
Representative. Many Members of Congress have directions and order
forms available online. If instructions for making flag requests are not
online, contact your Senator or Representative for instructions. Complete
the form and return with your payment to your Senator or Representative, who
will forward your request to the Architect of the Capitol. Depending on the
size of the flag, the prices range from $13.25 to $22.55 (plus shipping and
handling). NOTE: The prices above do not include shipping and handling since
it varies by location. The largest flag able to be flown over the United
States Capitol is 8’ x 12’. Here is a link to my Pennsylvania
Congressman, Tim Murphy,
flag request page in Pennsylvania, it is an easy to use online order
form. Order yours direct from you representative.
Flags are typically displayed in decorative flag
cases and you must fold the flag correctly
for it to properly fit the case. Flag cases can be ordered from Just Write Laser Engraving.
They do exceptional custom flag case engravings and offer other unique gifts
such as coffee mugs with service dates and agency logos.
Administrative POCs may request a letter from the
White House for a civilian employee retiring with 30 years or more of
Federal service (this encompasses those who have combined military and
civilian service as well as those with straight civilian service.),
Administrative POCs should send a memorandum that includes the information
listed below.
A lead time of 60 to 90 days is needed to ensure timely delivery of the
Letter of Appreciation. For those who
make a last minute decision to retire, the letter can be sent to the home
address.
Krista, one of our site visitors, requested
a letter for one of their employees on 10/31/2011. It was printed on
1/6/2012 and mailed on 1/9/2012. It took 71 days for the letter to arrive.
Requests
can be sent direct to the Whitehouse or through your
U.S. Representative’s
or
Senator’s office. There is a chance the letter will not
arrive on time due to the large number of requests received by the Greetings
Office. If this is the case, advise the recipient that the letter has been
requested and will be sent to him when it arrives. The earlier your request
is sent the better chance you have of receiving it on time. Mail or fax
requests to the address listed below or contact your representative’s office
for assistance.
Required Information:
Presidential letters of appreciation from former presidents
