The Order of St. Joan D'Arc Medallion is the top volunteerism award given by the United States Armor Association of the United States Army.
In 1986 the United States Armor Association began an awards program to honor the very best of America's tankers and troopers. The Saint George Award program provides the mounted force with a way to recognize outstanding performers, their spouses (Order of St. Joan D'Arc) and Armor Force supporters (Noble Patron of Armor Award).
The Order of St. Joan D'Arc Medallion is conferred to honor people, generally spouses, who have voluntarily made contributions of great significance to the morale, welfare, and spirit of armor and cavalry units in the United States Army. The unit commander must compile and submit a nomination packet, which is performed without the knowledge of the potential recipient.
Famous quotes containing the words order of, order and/or joan:
“Undoubtedly we have not questions to ask which are unanswerable. We must trust the perfection of the creation so far, as to believe that whatever curiosity the order of things has awakened in our minds, the order of things can satisfy. Every man’s condition is a solution in hieroglyphic to those inquiries he would put. He acts it as life, before he apprehends it as truth.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“We have created an industrial order geared to automatism, where feeble-mindedness, native or acquired, is necessary for docile productivity in the factory; and where a pervasive neurosis is the final gift of the meaningless life that issues forth at the other end.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
“General de Gaulle was a thoroughly bad boy. The day he arrived, he thought he was Joan of Arc and the following day he insisted that he was Georges Clemenceau.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
