Never thought about buying a U.S. flag from Camping World. Probably never will. Buy mine from the local American Legion Post. They also have a return program where you can take tattered flags and they will properly and respectfully dispose of them.
Never bothered to look to see where they are made though.
Edit: just read back through some of the other posts. FYI, American Legion U.S. flags are well made. I can buy one and it flies non-stop 24x7x365 from the flag pole in my yard. It takes a year for it to shred, and they seem to never fade.
Edit Edit!... just saw the post (below this one)... American Legion flags cost $20. They are cheaper than the holiday 3x5 US flags sold at Wall Mart! And last a lot longer!
No idea where my friend buys his, but the one that's on my sand car has been on it for 3 years now, and is still in perfect shape. I don't fly it if it is even torn or frayed even a little bit. Wal-Mart flags are probably not made in this country either.
As far as buying a flag from CW, I wouldn't buy one there either. But I saw it and it was plain as day where it was made. Almost as though they were proud of it.
As long as we keep buying stupid ****, they'll keep making it, trust me.
