Object ID:
2016.295.07
Object Name:
Pennant
Description:
A pennant created to recognize that the Missouri Valley Bridge & Iron Company received the Army-Navy "E" Award for "Excellence in Production". The banner also features 4 stars, with each star being an award given for a following 6 months of excellence after receiving the original "E" Award. The Evansville Shipyard earned a total of 2 stars; as such this pennant was not earned or flown at that location. Instead, the pennant may have come from the Leavenworth, KS shipyard also owned and operated by the Missouri Valley Bridge & Iron Co.
