Army-Navy "E" Award
The Army-Navy "E" Award was an honor presented to a company during World War II for excellence in production of war equipment. The award was also known as the Army-Navy Production Award. The award consisted of a pennant for the plant and emblems for all employees in the plant at the time the award was made. The pennant was triangular swallowtail with a white border, with a capital E within a yellow wreath of oak and laurel leaves on a vertical divided blue and red background. ARMY is on the red background and NAVY on the blue background.
Usually an Army officer and a Navy officer would be present at a ceremony when a company would assemble all the employees and a ceremony would ensue. After the award of the pennant to the plant (to be flown), the employees present would receive their pins. A total of 4,283 companies received the award in the course of the war.〔Miller, Herbert M. (1945). ''The Theatre Catalog.'' Philadelphia: Jay Emanuel Publications; page xviii〕 This amounted to about 4 percent of the companies engaged in war work. Plants with continuing excellent work were awarded stars to add to their pennant. A handful of plants earned up to six stars by the end of the war. The Army-Navy "E" Award program was terminated after the war ended.
== History ==
Initially, the awards were created during Theodore Roosevelt's administration.〔Fuller, George Newman. ''Michigan History.'' Michigan Historical Commission, Lewis Beeson, Michigan State Historical Society, page 22 〕 The award was a Navy E-Award, which was to commend superior naval service. Later awards continued in World War I and until early in World War II were the Navy E, the Army A and the Army-Navy Star.
