The Honorable Discharge Lapel Pin ("The Ruptured Duck") is the official emblem of Honorable Discharge. It replaces all previously issued Honorable Discharge lapel pins or buttons dating back to the Revolutionary War. Honorably Discharge
personnel of all four military service branches (and Coast Guard personnel during wartime assignment to the War Department, Navy Department or Department of Defense) are eligible. The Pin may be worn on civilian clothing. The Pin should be
displayed among military medals in shadow boxes. See "Common Myths About The Ruptured Duck" for information about its name origin.
