Made in America: Freedom and Glory

Freedom & Glory is a family-owned American flag company based in Hillsborough, North Carolina. The company was founded by Dwight Morris in 1980 and has spent 45 years supplying American-made flags and patriotic products to schools, government agencies, veterans' organizations and communities nationwide. Today, Dwight's daughter, Liz Morris, leads Freedom & Glory as CEO. “We believe in the American dream,” said Liz Morris. “We are based on the analogy of a drop of dye in a bucket of water—the idea that even a small action can produce a lasting change.” Dwight started the company in the attic of his home just outside Chicago. One day, he went shopping, simply looking for a flag to fly outside his home. At the time, Chicago was the second largest city in the United States, and Dwight found it odd that he couldn't find an American-made flag. He founded Carrot Top Industries to fix that problem.
