Annin Flag Company

While out shopping the other day, I picked up a sewn nylon 3 ft. X 5 ft. flag. Let me suggest, if you need a flag, get one made by Annin. Made in America with American materials by American labor.

There was a show on TLC? several years ago, IIRC John Ratsenberger was the host. It was about the Annin Flag Co. Quite impressive.

Plus for us homeboys, Jim, 2 of Annin's facilities are in Virginia, one in South Boston down the road a ways from me.

My son, who is a captain in the army, gave me a flag a couple of Christmases ago that flew over his base in Iraq when he was deployed there. It is fitting that it is an Annan flag. It is a treasured possession of mine.

I have an OLD Annin Alaska flag I found at an estate sale. I called Annin and from the tag it was made in 1958 or 1959 when Alaska became the 49th State... It is Pristine.

Nylon. The only kind to buy.

I used to get all my flags from Dixie Flag Manufacturing in San Antonio, but believe it or not they don't sell a Gonzales flag, so I've taken my business elsewhere. I'll keep Annin in mind, I think the last set I purchased were made by the American Flag company, also made in USA.

Annin also has a factory in Coshocton, Ohio. They bought it from the Scott family who owned it as The Colonial Flag Co., I don't remember the year but they made a Flag that was used at a Super Bowl, one of those that the crew holds and it covers almost the whole football field.
Go to the Annin website and check it out, they used to sell all kinds of state and sports flags also.

Annin's website advertises custom services. I suppose, if money is not an object, they could/would make any size flag you ask for.

Anything that has to do with this country, whether it be the flags or the USA Olympic clothing, to the military clothing ect ect, should be made law it has to be made here on our soil, by our naturally born U.S. citizens.
