The Eagle came after, when I tried to enlist again in the Army. The Doc at the physical said he wouldn't let me in unless I covered it with something else to obscure it. He wasn't amused. He was even less amused when I showed up back from lunch with the Eagle covering it. No sense of humor. He let me pass though...lol. Over the decades since the Eagle has faded some and you can easily see the FTA and the words too..lol.
