According to US media reports, the All-American Flag Act has been passed by Congress, requiring the federal government to purchase only American flags that have been completely manufactured in the US. 

Advocates of the measure argue that in 2017, the US imported some 10 million American flags, and 99.5 percent of them came from China.

It's time for US flags to originate in the country they represent, said the sponsors of the proposal.  What are your thoughts?
