Flags USA Inc. prides itself in supplying only 100% American made flags to the Federal government.  A newly mandated Buy American policy for the Armed Forces (H.R. 1344) will facilitate this process.  "It's amazing that our military personnel stationed overseas were purchasing flying flags that were not manufactured in the USA – we're very pleased with the adoption of the All-American Flag Act and proud to supply American made flags to Americans, wherever they're stationed," adds Ms. Sklarz.
