The emblem that appears in the Virtual Flowers section is the Honorable Discharge lapel button issued to World War 2 servicemen upon their discharge; they often wore it on the lapel of their jacket. Collectors of military memorabilia colloquially and fondly refer to this button as the "Ruptured Duck," a humorous poke at the design of the eagle, which some view as having a seemingly out-of-proportion inflated chest.
