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.

Almost all of the team members are women, and most of them immigrants.
