Retired with Honor Pin
The design
On the pin
A round pin with a maroon ring and a gold-tone rim. RETIRED arches across the top and WITH HONOR along the bottom, around a gold star inside a green laurel wreath on a white center.
What it means
Retirement ceremonies close a career in uniform, often with a flag presentation. The laurel and star mark an honorable career, and the pin suits military, police and fire retirements alike.
Colors and finish
Maroon, green and gold are formal and warm. Hard enamel gives a smooth finish for presentation boxes.
