Here’s how to make sure…

This rectangular logo and the oval certification seal are your assurances that this product has been made in the USA of materials that are domestic in origin and that all processes in every step of the US flag’s manufacture were completed in USA facilities with USA labor.

FMAA, the Flag Manufacturers Association of America, is an organization made up of several of the country’s leading flag makers who have crafted a set of specifications that will guarantee and highlight the domestic sourcing and manufacture of US flags.

Spread the word. Tell your friends to look for the FMAA logo and/or seal to ensure that they are purchasing a US made American flag.

On December 18, 2001, President Bush signed Public Law No: 107-89, designating September 11th as Patriot Day. State and local governments and the people of the United States are asked to observe Patriot Day with appropriate programs and activities to honor the individuals who lost their lives as a result of the terrorist attacks on that date in 2001.

The day has also been designated as a day that the US flag should be flown at half-staff from sunrise to sundown, not just until noon as is done on Memorial Day. In addition the people of the United States are asked to observe a moment of silence on Patriot Day in remembrance of the victims.

Many people have asked if Government offices, schools, banks, etc. will be closed on that day. We don’t have that information at this time but as decisions are made we will keep you informed.

Patriot Day should not be confused with Patriot’s Day, a regional holiday celebrated in New England on the third Monday in April which commemorates Paul Revere’s ride and the battle of Lexington & Concord during the Revolutionary War. The Boston Marathon is run on Patriot’s Day every year.
