abcd1234 – Nothing I own (I am aware of) is made from Germany, most of it is from Japan, China, U.S.A, and other places I just can’t recall at this time, but if I ever did have the money to buy a mercedes, I think I’d pass.
SJSinNYC – Did your parents have that information for you about your relatives dating back to 1492, or were you able to find out online? I ask because, I can only trace back to my great grandparents at most, and it would be pretty cool to know my ancestry way back in history. I also didn’t know that about the American Red Cross, now I feel bad, because I’m certified in first aid (& others), there. I think when I renew, I’ll go with the American Heart Association.
