This used to burn me up too when it came to buying stuff here in the USA.But now, everything is being shipped overseas.Its sickening the way this country is losing jobs but I gues its just business.Especially when they ship our jobs to of all places, Vietnam! Americans forget too easily!!!!!! Just my thoughts.Oh yeah did just purchase a great unit that is MADE IN THE USA! Its an ICEGATOR,made by AMERICANS in an AMERICAN city and State!!
