The U.S. Capitol will be adorned with unique American flags custom-designed for the inauguration of President Joe Biden . These flags, crafted by a San Antonio-based team, are not your typical 50-star banners. Each set consists of three flags: a 50-star flag representing the United States, a Betsy Ross flag with 13 stars symbolizing the original colonies, and a 27-star flag representing the state of the incoming president, Florida.
The flags were commissioned before the election results were finalized and shipped before the start of the new year. The team behind the custom flags, including Lucy Rodriguez, meticulously crafted each piece to fit precisely between the Capitol's pillars. Rodriguez expressed both her nervousness and pride in her work, noting the increased confidence she has gained through completing two previous sets of flags.The flags' intricate design and symbolism add a layer of significance to the inauguration ceremony. While they may appear at first glance as standard American flags, a closer look reveals their unique representation of history and the incoming president's state. The team's dedication to detail and their ability to create such a special commemorative piece ensures that the Capitol will be draped in a truly meaningful display
