the caskets of service members killed in action and paid for by taxpayers might have been manufactured in pakistan or china. that felt like a slap in the face to congressman mike thompson, a vietnam vet who recently toured the factory in his northern california district. i think it s offensive that u.s. flags be made, manufactured anyplace else other than in the united states of america. as a result of his efforts, the pentagon is now required to buy american-made flags and other agencies may follow suit. what i m doing is putting a third row of stitches on the header. more orders could mean more jobs for people like sue wilson, one of two dozen employees here with developmental disabilities and a sewing machine whiz. i love it here. i feel like a million bucks. attention to detail and pride of workmanship evident in every flag made here. and in honor of the fourth of july, some flag etiquette to keep in mind.
