In memory and respect of the victims of the Fort Hood shootings and their families.
November 5, 2009

Just so you don't think I'm somehow "anti-American",
here is a list of sources where items made in the United States of America,
and items made elsewhere without sweat-shop labor,
may be found and purchased.
Including toys made in the USA!

Please note that just because a product has a USA brand name does not mean it is made in the USA!

This animation from Minyanville from July 24, 2008 (after a brief commercial message) illustrates the problem:

Also, some products may be assembled in the USA with imported parts!

Feel free to copy this banner for the Holiday* season
("Holiday" being whatever Winter Festival you prefer to celebrate).

And more that are not holiday themed:

Just remember to link them to:
http://www.angelfire.com/nv/micronations/madeinusa.html

If you know of any other websites that I should list,
please send them to me via e-mail. Thanks!

You can also tell people about this webpage by telling them to go to one of the following addresses:
www.buyusa.co.nr - www.how.to/buyusa
buyusa.andmuchmore.com - remember.to/buyusa
got.to/buyusa

Most recent update: Sunday, November 8, 2009
Salutes to George Salzmann, Christopher Lee, Nicole Drake and Gerry Murphy for their suggestions,
Mr. Edward Staniszewski of Lifewear for his HTML help,
Ms. Ellie Knapp of Knapp Realty for her support,
the many people who strive to buy American-Made and told me of these companies,
and to the many companies in the USA who have informed me of their websites!

And if you're going to wear American Flag lapel pins,
wear ones made in the USA!

You can buy them from American Made Clothing - Union House Apparel
and By American Company
Thanks, Amy & Stephen!

UPDATE: There is an excellent search engine for USA Made goods!
