The DAV and similar service organizations like Salvation Army and AMVETS has some new merchandice, so we should buy there first not China

heartfelt donations are the only way they operate

My point is that their merch comes from China too...

Good point and sad because of the lost jobs that could have been happy families. Thank you Rabbi Matlow, for the heart felt words, at least no more money will be spent on the items, but that money will help veterans here. Did you hear about the Chinese sub that has been following our warship ?

As to Chinese subs - nothing new there.

I think you also mentioned Thrift Stores. Of course, some of the money they earn goes to help their beneficiaries...

As to manufacturing, until American stops worshiping the idol of Mamon, and starts getting some ethics again, I doubt much will change...
