What was the reason all veterans got the lame duck patch after World War 2 and what does it mean?
COOP42
Comes from the fact that horses suffering from emphysema, in the age of cavalry, were considered as "good for nothing"
The Honorable Discharge Pin or patch was given to soldiers who were discharged. They could attach the pin or patch to their uniform and continue to wear the uniform until they arrived home and even after that. The patch would indicate to others that they were not currently serving and therefore would not be subject to the usual orders and regulations. The pin dervied its name from its appearance. The pin is a diamond shape with an Eaglestanding inside a Circle. The shape of the Eagle and its dumpy wings makes it appear rather odd looking. The GI's named the pin "the Ruptured Duck". BTW, at the bottom of a veteran's discharge papers in the lower block, there was usually an indication that the Pin was issued. Custermen

What is a World War 2 military pin circular shaped with a bird in the center with its wings extended outside of the circle?
This is the Honorable Discharge Pin. It was given to soldiers to wear on their uniform so that they could continue to wear their uniform after their discharge. The pin would signify to other soldiers (mainly officers) that he was not on active duty and did not have to obey orders or at least not all of the mundane stuff. The eagle in the circle of the pin looks kinda like a duck so the GI's referred to this pin as "the ruptured duck". It was awarded either as a lapel pin or a patch. The patch was usually worn above the RIGHT breast pocket. The patch was issued in different color material and color thread depending on the branch of service---Army or Navy.
