In 1937, when the practice began, six souvenir flags were flown over the Capitol.

Last year, the figure was just over 121,400, or an average of 330 for every day of the year.

A crew of eight laborers working out of the Architect of the Capitol's office spends a good part of its time unpacking flags, running them up the poles-30 seconds of flying time maximum-and then folding them into Pizza-sized boxes for delivery to the requesting member of Congress.

The constituent also gets a certificate that records the momentous-or is it momentary-occasion.
