American flags?
Marcus, I brought this to your attention over a year ago, with no response yet. I'll ask here. I asked a clerk in the Tucson store (she has a British accent, that tells ya something) why you hav...

BigBlockTank: I appreciate your post. On the other hand have you looked up what a good quality US made flag costs? Before retirement as a truck driver I used to pick up at a place that made high quality flags. All kinds of flags...Holiday, storm, etc Very nice people but I don't think you could anybody working there other than the owner that could speak English. Just saying...
I can't help but respond to your question, do you think I would complain about flags made in another country, and announce that I am willing to pay the difference, if I had not checked this years ago? There are affordable American flags, made in this country. You just have to look for them.
On another chat board, I have a friend that gives away American flags every year. He gets them for about $6 or $7 each, and they're 3X5 flags to fly on our sand cars. I have donated money so that more could have them also.

I have no idea if you would or not.
For myself I do get upset when people fly the flag wrong or disgrace our country. I can tell you that I no longer buy (donate) to a lot of things that we used to. About 3/4 of our donations now goes to "Fisher House". (Temp housing for family members that need roof over their head when a loved one is in VA). https://www.fisherhouse.org/ very worth while organization.
In my 33 years (6 1/2 active and balance of time in Reserves) many (military) things have come and gone. (one example) Like the vinyl sticky ribbon for your car that says "supports our troops". That a convince store wants money for and is made overseas. Where does that money go? Again just one example.
If you want to buy a flag for Camping World made in USA, who's to stop you? For myself I make my donate list I investigate the best I can. As for a British accent at CW maybe you should ask if she meet her husband in the UK somewhere and now she is a military dependent married to a military guy and she is making extra money. Married her and she gets to go the land of the big "BX"?
As I mentioned, I'm retired military myself. Couple months ago when pulling into a under ground parking garage, as this guy walks by sees my retired decal on windshield and starts yelling at me then spits on my car.
Sad shape some things are.
