The United States Armor Association has established the Order of Saint Joan D’Arc to honor ladies who voluntarily contributed significantly to the morale, spirit, and welfare of Armor or Cavalry units and communities. Such voluntary contributions should exemplify the spirit of the Order’s namesake in such service to others. The award consists of a certificate bearing the signatures of the President of the United States Armor Association and the Chief of Armor, and a silver medallion suspended from a yellow ribbon.
