I had to "edit" and add...I also got another flag at the same time and it too is "Made in the USA". The pole and mounting bracket are "Made in China" but the 3X5 flag itself is completly made in South Carolina. I wonder if Lowe's makes an effort to buy American? Close your eyes and imagine this, two items, both made in the USA on one reciept!
Update: The flag still flies daily, colors still brite! Shop Vac burned up after about the third use. Bought it at Lowe's 6/1/2011 and they replaced it, no questions asked.
