Some of the earliest plans for a multi-service honorable discharge patch originated in 1919 following World War I. The purpose was to allow honorably discharged individuals to wear their uniforms for a period of time after leaving the service if they couldn't afford civilian clothes. The original design was similar to the eagle on the Presidential Seal but was changed in 1943 by Franklin Roosevelt & Winston Churchill. Their new design pictured an eagle preparing for flight, called "The Eagle Has Flown." This was meant to coincide with the first major Allied offensives against the Axis Powers in the Pacific & Atlantic.
