Description

VetFriends.com exclusive DD-214 National Service Ribbon brass lapel or hat pin is a small but meaningful accessory that honors the service of U.S. military veterans who have received the DD-214 form, a document given upon discharge from active duty. This pin features the National Service Ribbon and six gold stars symbolizing the recipient's commitment and service.

  • Shape and Size: The lapel pin is perfectly round and the exact size of a standard issue U.S. penny.
  • Colors: The pin prominently features the colors of the National Defense Service Medal ribbon: red, yellow, blue, and white stripes backed by a glossy black and gold lettering.
  • Text: The pin includes the text "DD-214" and "Alumni" to highlight the significance of the discharge document. This text is placed above and below the ribbon and star design in a clear, legible, gold font.
  • Base Metal: The pin is made from brass then plated with a gold finish to enhance its appearance and longevity.
  • Enamel: High-quality enamel is used to fill in the colors of the ribbon, ensuring they are vibrant and resistant to fading. The enamel is covered with a protective epoxy coating to maintain its sheen and durability.
  • Back Fastening: The pin features a butterfly clutch, which secures it firmly in place when attached to clothing. This type of backing is easy to use and reliable for keeping the pin securely fastened.
  • Post: The pin has a single or double post on the back to provide stability and prevent rotation when worn.
  • Honor and Recognition: The pin serves as a symbol of honor and recognition for veterans who have received the DD-214 form. It acknowledges their service and dedication to the country.
  • Visibility: The colorful ribbon and clear text ensure that the pin is easily recognizable, making it an effective way for veterans to display their service pride.
  • Versatility: Suitable for wearing on various items such as lapels, hats, jackets, bags, and uniforms. It can be worn during formal events, veterans' gatherings, patriotic holidays, and daily activities.
  • Cleaning: To maintain the pin’s appearance, it should be gently wiped with a soft, dry cloth. For more thorough cleaning, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or chemicals that could damage the enamel or metal plating.
  • Storage: When not in use, the pin should be stored in a dry, cool place, ideally in a pin case or jewelry box, to prevent scratches and tarnishing.

VetFriends.com DD-214 National Service Ribbon lapel pin is a finely crafted and meaningful accessory that pays tribute to the service and sacrifices of U.S. military veterans. Its durable materials, vibrant colors, and thoughtful design make it a cherished item for veterans who wish to proudly display their service and makes a perfect gift for friends or family as well.
