In April of 1943, the Treasury T flag was presented to the Seattle-Tacoma Shipbuilding Corp., Tacoma yard. Karl Richards, of the Washington war savings staff, made a speech to thousands of workers at the ceremony. "Remember this flag represents a prosperous peace and our future happiness. Keep it flying." The "minuteman" flag was presented to defense companies where 90 % of the employees pledged at least 10% of their salaries to the purchase of war bonds.
