The shoulder patch U.S. flags worn by U.S. troops are made by Moritz Embroidery Works, which is based in PA, but they are made in Thailand.

I just got a new order for flag patches for my Vet's post and those are from China-istan. What can you do. I also know that the new miniture medals that the guys have been ordering such a Vietnam service/purple heart/ etc are not made in USA... They may be from KAPUSTASTAN as far as I know!!!!

I wish that my Dad was still alive because I would ask him if the Democrats called Ike a "cut and runner" for ending the war in Korea!! Somehow I do not thing so !! But if Truman ended the Korean War the Neocons would still be calling him a "cut and runner" in his grave!!!!

We lost more military men in the Korean War than in Viet Nam. And FYI---we STILL have troops in Korea, keeping the peace. But good to see you think a Republican did such a wonderful job.

See JP unlike you I am not shackled with chains to any party line. The Korean War came to a stalemate and Ike knew that the American people did not have the stomache to continue it so soon after WW II. We should have used nukes against China and that way the the USSR would have backed down since the Soviets did not have the means to deliver nukes at us back then. Ike was a mild Republican and it was time for the Republicans to take over after 20 years of Democrats running the WH. Ike was not an idiologicalally bent in dividual and was the right man for the time just as was JFK after him.

My dad served in Korea and my mom always told us that Ike was the president who brought dad home. I was forced to listen to Ike's speeches and got my government and crrent affairs lecture from dad. My sisters got away with it since they were only girls so what did they know !!! per dad
