I checked out this quarter's Army Echoes and found this news about new lapel pins for veterans and retirees. We're "Soldiers for life," which I think is just right. And I like the new lapel pin as well, but my favorite retiree pin was the green and gold one.
What do you think of these new insignia for retirees and vets?
Here's a link to the Army Echoes newsletter:

We are really riding this Army Star logo hard... One of the best thing the Marine Corp has done was not messing with the EGA.

I like the idea of 'Soldier for Life', but not sure they need to keep redesigning pins just because of a new 'catch phrase". I was presented with the lapel pin at my retirement in 2006, in 2007 I received a letter from DA with the (then) 'New' Lapel pin. Does this mean they are going to send me the NEW, new pin now? Really unnecessary in my opinion.

I agree with you. It is almost as unnecessary as redesigning & replacing the Army Class A & B uniforms in the middle of the GWOT. I know that the money expended on this could have been better spent improving field uniforms and equipment based upon "lessons learned".
