Replying to The "Made in the USA" thread

As I've gotten older (I'm currently 23) I've tried to put a concerted effort into getting the most out of what limited money I have. I've also started to realize how important it is to patronize companies that hire Americans and produce their products in this country. In general, American companies that produce within the country have stirling reputations for quality and durability. Because of that fact, and because these companies often pay Americans higher wages and shell out more money to source quality American materials, these goods are a bit on the expensive side. When you take the longevity of the product into account, however, I think it all equals out in the end. Now, I don't want this thread to turn into some xenophobic flame war. Ideally, I'd love for all of you who are interested in the "Made in USA" movement to post pictures or describe what kinds of items you have bought or are contemplating buying that are made in the good old United States. I realize that a good portion of the membership here happens to live outside of the United States, but feel free to add your two cents if you are buying American-made products. Again, this has become a really important factor in my development as a discerning consumer. I'm hoping some of you can attest to that by contributing to this thread.
