The Discharge Pin or Patch was issued to discharged soldiers and was worn above the right breast pocket.
The main purpose of this patch was it allowed the GI to travel home while wearing his uniform and not be
ordered around by an officer. It got its nickname
"Ruptured Duck" from the ugly Eagle in the center.
