Washington, January 15, 2025

Washington, D.C. - Congressman Nathaniel Moran (R-TX-01) joined Congresswoman Monica De La Cruz (R-TX-15), and their colleagues in introducing the Honor Inauguration Day Act, legislation to ensure American flags fly at their highest peak on the Presidential Inauguration Day.

"Inauguration Day should be a time for celebration and excitement as we look ahead to our new Administration," said Congressman Moran. "I'm proud to cosponsor Congresswoman De La Cruz's legislation to ensure our nation's flag is always fully raised on Inauguration Day in celebration of the will of the American people in electing a President to lead the country forward for the next four years."

This legislation still allows for the American flag to be lowered ceremonially at the President's discretion on any day before or after the Presidential Inauguration Day.
