Flag Request and Retired Soldier Pin (Army Commendation Packet)

Units - please use the updated form.  The date this office receives the request and the date of the retirement ceremony will determine whether the soldier will receive a generic flag/pin set or a personalized set.   If less than 60 days, a generic flag/pin set will be issued. The request for certificates should be requested at the same time.
