    I have this program recorded on our DVR. I watched part of the 1 labeled "Made in the USA"
    It is great to see some of the products made here. Mass and Maine were shown with the New Balance shoes, I think my next pair might be those.
    Then it was New Hampshire with the Segway factory. That was neat, and they have a program where they are donating Segways and training disabled vets how to use them. Saw 1 heroic soldier riding 1, he had lost both arms and legs.
    Got to finish watching this episode...
    They visit the largest and oldest FLAG company in the world. And we need to get a new USA flag for our yard...

    You have to watch. Some NB shoes are American made. Others are not.

    Unfortunately, Segway was purchased by a Chinese company, and they closed the NH facility and discontinued the 2-wheeled Segways.
