Philadelphia – city of brotherly love, birthplace of American democracy. And the only place in the world where presidential flags are made.
The work happens in a small space in northeast Philly, on a military base with jets parked outside. It's called the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Flag Room. Inside, a 13-person team spends months hand embroidering the flag that bears the famous presidential seal, complete with the eagle clutching an olive branch in one claw and arrows in the other.
