Ii have no idea what this pin is supposed to be called, or why my father borned in 1903 had it with his keepsakes. I would guess it to be old. If any one can tell me anything about this pin I would appreciate it. I don't see any other marks or no. Except (National Deffense)

Ty ttomtucker,your knowledge is worth its weight in gold and it means so much to me, giving me a part of my family history that I know was important and ment something specail to my pop. I believe it must have been the Karean War as anything later would not apply to my dad. My brothers were both enlisted, during the war in Vietnam, but not the Army, There is more to come as I go through his wonderful box of things he treasured and that I shall now treasure and take care of.
