A series of events prompted me to search out small, independent, Missouri businesses that sell at least one durable product which is made in the USA. These businesses, and the products manufactured in the United States, are part of what supports America. Its inspiring to think about really. Small business owners support the broad economy; the towns they serve and the city or town from where their merchandise or materials are manufactured and then purchased. It seems patriotic to me. Let's be sure to return the favor.
