WALLMART TO HIRE VETS - BRING IN MORE AMERICAN MADE PRODUCTS?

Heard on the radio this morning, and wanted to research a bit.  We rarely buy in Wallmart, though it is the nations largest retailer.  Last purchase, some yarn that had the Made in the USA flag on it.

LOOKING FORWARD TO A PATRIOTIC 2013

We'll see if we go over a Fiscal Cliff or not... Our faith in our nation as a whole, which means the people more than politicians, remains strong.  If we do go over, we will need to economize as well as buy American made products and services more than ever.  It's not easy for average folks to think about numbers in the billions and trillions being discussed, but we can understand cutting coupons, cooking at home, repurposing things we already own, going to thrift stores (which often support charities) to buy used as a first option, and finding interesting and fun things to do without spending the travel dollars we used to, but still supporting our local economy!
