<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>When I retired I got a Certificate signed by the President and an American Flag. My wife got a certificate too signed by the Chief of Staff.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If you retire yes you are supposed to receive a letter from the POTUS but the catch is that the Command is required to submit documentation to request it.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The DD214 is the official retirement record. If your unit didn’t request ceremonial certificates then you’re probably not getting them.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>When I was medically retired at 20 years, I got my DD214 and a flag in a cardboard box. I did not care. I was so ready to leave the army post. Do you get retirement pay from the DoD each month?
