example of how US manufacturing has been decimated. Authentically American® is out to reverse that trend.
"Not only the wealth, but the independence and security of a country, appear
to be materially connected with the prosperity of manufacturers. Every nation ... ought to endeavor to possess within
itself all the essentials of a national supply."

& American Made Heroes Awards!
Mike Tamulis, Fierce Advocate for USA manufacturers!
Mike Tamulis created AmericanMadeHeroes.com
in 2008 as his personal effort
to recognize and applaud the companies and individuals who were still manufacturing & innovating here in the United States of America when so many of their peers chose
to leave our shores and fellow citizens behind. He knew they deserved support so he acted.
He was & is friends with many US manufacturers and understands that their decision to stay in the USA was mostly loyalty to their employees which he views as
truly heroic!
Join us in honoring individuals in USA manufacturing & innovation and those supporting USA manufacturing by presenting them with the
"The Paul Revere Award" as our recognition of those who have not surrendered in the fight to defend our USA based manufacturing.
