Is this “THE” flag that flew over the Capitol that day or “A” flag? there’s a ceremony pretty much every day where they raise a basket of flags that they then claim “flew over the Capitol” on X date.

It was obviously the flag that actually flew at the Capitol on 9/11...donated by former House Speaker Dennis Hastert. According to the article: "Other losses include a handful of personal items of the Flight 93 passengers and crew. The items were either recovered from the crash site or provided by family members to represent their loved ones."

So more than just the flag was lost.
