Thread: Ever wonder where all those Mexican Flags come from?

I was just at Target and lo and behold what did I see for sale with all the American flags? I'm quite sure my complaints were patronized and fell on deaf ears.

Isn't that infurating! I hope I don't see them flying around my neighborhood.
I bet you all the flags were "Made in China" too.

Well parts of them were firecracker. They were made by Valley Forge flags, same company that makes ours if you can believe it.

MADE IN THE USA is what my American flags package read.
In my honest opinion any store in America has something to sell from, or to a foreign nation.
In that lies the problem for all of us, except the store making the money

I can’t find the news article now but there was a company out of Ohio selling American flags with only 49 stars on them, they made a mint.
Guys at our local store get mad when I open the packages up and count the stars then I fold the flags the right way and put them back in the packages.
Last year one manager called the cop, that was a real laugh.
The guy that came out helped me fold the one I had left walked me out side, and took my business card.

I still have Dad's burial flag that I had to fight tooth and nail for. Made in U.S.A on that one.

Okay, this makes me mad!!! Here is my letter to target:

I noticed that you are selling Mexican flags in the United States. I find this extremely offensive, and a slap in the face to every legal American, and to every military person, past and present. I am furious, and know that others are too. Is a dollar more important to you than the loyalty to your own country?

Mine was made by Valley Forge: it says

FLAG 100% MADE IN THE USA
Flag woven, printed and sewn in the USA. Other components made in China

Well I guess the most important part was made here. No wonder the eagle part is so cheezy! I'll have to get a new one.

I like it Neese. Let us know if you hear from them. I also wrote them one. I'm sorry but this is insane!

Wait a sec guys....we have an American company selling a Mexican flag to Mexicans? It's one way to keep money from going out of the country.

Patriotism is more important than money. We don't need any Mexican flags flying here, period.
