Annin Flagmakers bills itself as the oldest and largest manufacturer of the Star-Spangled Banner in the United States. It is one of few companies still making the flag in America.

Since its founding in 1847, Annin’s flags have marked the country’s highest highs and lowest lows. Its flags hung at President Abraham Lincoln’s inauguration and draped his coffin. They flew atop Mount Suribachi after the Battle of Iwo Jima and rocketed to the moon aboard Apollo 11.

From the article:

> Annin ceased production of the Confederate flag in 2015, citing its representation of hatred and division.

Wot? 2015?
