PMO Honor Flag Service

The PMO provides the Honor Flag Service to fly US Flags flown in honor of service members, retirees, memorials, and other important events.

Flags are generally flown for any individual who requests it, although most often, they are flown for those who served at, retired from, or graduated from West Point; or upon special request by the family members or respective agencies that the individual was/is associated with.

Directorates, activities, or other individuals desiring a flag to be flown must bring thier own flag and documentation. The PMO does not supply flags.

The documentation should relate to the member's service or class affiliation at West Point, and must have no more than 50 words of text to be used on the certificate.

A sample certificate (which can be used to actually set up the certificate, and e-mailed to the PMO) is available at this URL: Flag Certificate.

Note: The PMO reserves the discretionary right to edit submitted text for grammar or clarity. The flag should be at least 3 feet wide by 5 feet long, and no bigger than 9 feet wide by 17 feet long, and be made of such durable material as heavyweight Nylon or cotton blend fabric.

Allow at least 5 - 7 business days for local requests (West Point area) and 2 - 3 weeks for locations outside of West Point.

Outside agencies within the Department of Defense or other government agencies may request an Honor Flag to be flown for an individual if they pay for the return shipping cost. There is no exception to this. These services are available through the main couriers such as Federal Express (FedEx), UPS, DHL, EMS, and the US Postal Service.
