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.
"Per Ardua ad Astra" means "Through adversity to the stars."
