We applaud Ms. Sawyer's past efforts to promote and not ridicule the need for more Americans to purchase more domestically manufactured product and we welcome her as a new member of AmericanMadeHeroes.com.

ABC World News and Diane Sawyer produced a milti-year news series discoveriing & uncovering for the public to see the very real issue of America's declining USA based manufacturing titled “Made in America.” We applaud Ms. Sawyer for educating her fellow Americans to the dangers of America losing its' manufacturing future and the need for us all to make a concerted effort to purchase more American Made products.

The premise of the series was to answer the following questions, according to the show's website: 'Is buying 'American Made' more expensive? What staples are no longer manufactured in the U.S. at all? And what difference would it make if everyone promised to buy more American-made products?' As part of this series, the network unveiled its “Made in America Challenge,” looking for essays, photos and videos detailing American products individuals have bought, and how they have adapted their lifestyle to buy more American goods.
