Miniature jump wings on your lapel is the correct answer and totally appropriate.

I personally wear a US Army Retired pin.


In a regular meeting or outing, I would possibly agree. Your former military status is not relevant at a funeral for someone else. Humility is lost on many in today's society.



I'm quite sure the deceased will have a military funeral. Wearing miniature jump wings is totally appropriate.

I've had to present several burial flags to surviving family members. I wear a suit with my Army Retired pin.

Perfectly acceptable and respectful. Tyfys, Butch.

I probably wouldn't do it, but I wouldn't object if anyone did.
