A friend of mine is retiring from the USMC Reserves after 30 years (the first few years active duty and the rest in the reserves). He's a full Colonel and is having a somewhat formal retirement party (dress unis of some sort for military and business attire for civilians) that will consist of a short ceremony and then a cocktail hour/small food sort of thing.
I want to acknowledge his service appropriately, but don't know the etiquette for a retirement party (military or otherwise) and don't want to be either the only person who brings a gift where it's not the norm or the only guy who doesn't . . .
