Default Military Pin?

I just dug this up in my backyard under the clothes line. It was a few inches down and I believe it is silver. Any ideas if its a military pin or a reproduction?

Thanks,
Andy

Looks like a Patriotic Pin. Many similar versions of your pin/badge online. Great find!! (of course it could be totally something military)

I haven't a clue, but looks sort of like a pin one might wear if you have a family service member deployed, similar to the star flags people hang in their windows?

I'm probly wrong, but that's my best guess... pretty sure not like a military issued type though.

The blue star usually signifies a child in service. Number of stars = the number of children serving. Gold star signifies a life given in service.
