Minuteman flags and buntings were awards of the US Treasury Department during World War II for meeting or exceeding US Bond sales to pay for the war. The basic design was patented on August 18, 1942, by the Secretary of the Treasury.
From 1942 until sometime in the 1960s or 1970s it was awarded to businesses enrolling 90% or more of their employees in a Payroll Deduction program for buying Bonds. Today it is awarded for 50% or more participation and is available to schools, businesses, military units and federal agencies. less
