It is both Valley Forge Flag's philosophy and practice that U.S. flags be sourced, woven, dyed, finished, sewn, and distributed in the U.S.A. in domestically owned facilities with American labor.
The beliefs, values, and dreams that the U.S. flag represents are an inalienable part of the American character and psyche. It is for this reason that we believe that Americans, regardless of their national origin, race, color, creed, or religion, should be the producers of the various materials and processes that go into making an American flag.
Valley Forge is proud to join other American manufacturers as founding members of the Flag Manufacturers' Association of America (FMAA). This association is committed to a daily, nationwide effort to educate the press, the public, and the various selling outlets of American flags about the importance of domestic manufacturing of U.S. flags. Educating the country and helping to enforce the legal requirements for the clear labeling of imported products is an important role that Valley Forge Flag takes very seriously.
To that end, member manufacturers have established the FMAA Certification. This seal is the public's assurance that the flag being purchased and displayed is, in fact, Made in the U.S.A. Although several countries export flags to the U.S., the vast majority of the American public prefers U.S. flags be made in the U.S.A. Valley Forge and the FMAA encourage customers to look for and ask for FMAA certified products and for retailers everywhere to support these efforts by only offering flags Certified Made in the U.S.A. for sale.
