Does anyone here know...

where the flags that fly over our government buildings were made?
I ask this after reading the post from CountAllVotes re: the flag she received following the death of her veteran husband.

It will be a CRYING OUT LOUD shame if we do not have American made flags proudly waving over every fed. controlled building in this county.
