Made in America by AbilityOne: Employees with disabilities manufacture American flags at North Bay Industries, an AbilityOne-participating contractor. The flags are made entirely from products and materials certified “Made in America” – from the cotton grown and harvested in states such as Georgia, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, California, Oklahoma, and the Carolinas, to the dyes and thread. In this photo, Andrew Alamillo, a sewing operator, works on a flag.
