Thats funny, it reminds me of my elderly neighbor who gives me American flags she gets from donating money to some sort of veterans organization. All the flags are those cheap print style flags and they all have "made in China" stickers on them.
Also makes me sick when I was at MT. Rushmore a week ago and all the gifts and nicknacks in the gift shop were all cheap made in china things. I refused to buy anything from there.

It only makes sense to fly an American made flag but those Chinese people need work too. (joke)

The American flag is a symbol of our nation and to me it does not matter a bit where the flag is made. If the flags can be made in China more cheaply so that more people can own a flag, that is even better.

In my opinion it is a bit of jingoism to care too much about where the flag is made.

I guess that makes me a "jingoist" whatever that means.

I'm not exactly proud of all the things America has accomplished, but I will back this one especially today.

Happy Independence day!

Here is a link that might be useful: American made

Years ago, 80's/90's, when we used to host foreign students, Japanese and German, the one comment that kept coming up while touring is why are there so many US flags flying in America.

What is sad is that for every flag flow there are three homes that do not, most people in this country dont know the song the Star Spangled Banner. This country was built on patriotism and loyalty to a cause. I see alot of posters that favor the small mom and pop stores over the mega marts. There is no difference when looking at where the "American" flag is made. Keep alive the small American companies that make flags rather than buying the overseas replicas. I am guilty of this in the past but I am currently looking on the net for my next purchase of my flag.
