U.S. ARMY RETIRED LAPEL BUTTON WITH ARMY STAR

The distinctive rectangular design of this U.S. Army Retired lapel button makes it stand out from the several options available for Soldiers who possess Form DD2, U.S. Uniformed Services Identification Card (Retired). More important than the shape, however, is the imagery—a reworking of a classic symbol instantly associated with the Army.

A five-pointed star is the focal point of the logo. Inspired by the white five-pointed star introduce din World War II as the symbol of all U.S. motor vehicles assigned to tactical units, the “new” star was crafted using the colors white, black, and yellow—the colors of gunpowder components saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur—to link the star to the Army’s fighting heritage.

It was adopted as the official U.S. Army logo in 2006, and according to Army marketing researchers it is now more recognized than the U.S. Marine Corps’ legendary Eagle, Globe, and Anchor or the Air Force’s “Hap Arnold Wings.”

Lapel buttons are not worn with U.S. Army uniforms. Instead, they are worn by males and females on the left lapel of civilian clothing (females may wear the button in a similar location if their garment does not have lapels).
