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:

CW5 (Join to see) Chief I like the "Soldier for Life" one. The Retired one looks like a throw back from the 70's or 80's. Kind of old school and not a bad idea really.

I'm not retired but would like a Veteran one. Where can we get them?
I don't think they need to get rid of the older ones. I know a lot of older veterans like them and for many they have meaning and personal value. Round up the stock and keep them some place where these people can get them.

I prefer the older lapel and other badges. The newer pins/badge show (IMO) a want of imagination on the part of the Heraldry division. They seem more reminiscent of an advertising lapel pin worn by a salesperson. The green Retired Pin has always been my favorite until I discovered the following on RP: https://www.amervets.com/replacement/duck.htm
