ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

1. This is the second version of America. The first was blue in color. All profits from the sale of the blue America were allocated to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund for 9/11. Profits from the sale of the white America were allocated to each buyer's local Red Cross (probably based on the zip code provided online at the time of purchase).
