When I'm out shopping for a particular item, I've been known to drive around to four or five different stores in pursuit of that elusive "Made in the USA" label.
Now I'm not saying that everything I buy is made in America, because that just isn't the case. These days, sometimes we consumers don't even have that choice anymore. But I buy American when I can.
Anyway, I've decided to start highlighting some of the noteworthy American made products that are a part of my everyday life. For starters, I thought I'd bring attention to American Apparel, a company based out of Los Angeles that manufactures premium undergarments and the like.

This isn't a sales pitch. So let's just say that as far as undershirts go, they look (and feel) pretty dang good. Enough said.
As a side note, after receiving my most recent paycheck, I purchased $240 worth of electronic U.S. savings bonds (Series I), which means that I am now financing $2,548.00 (8.365%) of 'My Share' of the national debt.
