A new bill would require the federal government to only buy American flags that are completely produced and manufactured in the U.S. But now it's awaiting President Biden's signature. U.S. Senator Sharon Brown of Ohio recently announced that his bipartisan All-American Flag Act passed the House of Representatives and was sent to the President's desk.

It's insane to me that American flags that fly over post offices, over military bases, sometimes even tragically cover a cost of brought back over air base that they aren't made entirely by American workers. This is a case, this is a small example, but a case where we say no, American flags flying over federal facilities should absolutely 100% be made in America by American workers. According to the Department of Commerce and Census data, the U.S. imported 10 million American flags in 2017. And of those, all but 50,000 came from China.
