Ruptured Duck Patch
More formally called the Honorable Service Lapel Patch, the "Ruptured Duck" was given to those members of the U.S. military who were honorably discharged during WWII. The insignia was worn on the right chest of the uniform and was meant to identify the soldiers who had done their duty.

I have no idea, vietnam era uniforms are not my thing but with all the incorrect patches it would be a lot less than without them.

Yea, that shirt is a mess. And it is a shirt and not a jacket as stated in the thread caption.

iv removed 99% of the patches

I still have mine I picked out of a pile in Dong Ha in 1968. Spent time with USMC. Never saw anyone with patches out in the boonies. More authentic unadorned.
