The US Army used insignia's to identify units. These were called Distinguishing Unit Insignia's. They were made of brass that was small enough to wear on the collar lapel and later on the Epaulet. These were almost always in the shape of a Shield as this insignia was the unit's Coat of Arms.

The DUI pin had colors and shapes and symbols that helped identify the unit and tell a little about its history and tradition. The Tepee was used by units that were from the Oklahoma or other Indian territory.

These DUI were made for every infantry regiment, artillery battalion, engineer company and medical and transportation and signal units. So there were thousands upon thousands made. You may have a copy of one in larger format. It is hard to exactly identify this by a description as many of them were very similar.

Does it have a motto under the shield? There is a website that can identify the DUI by the motto. Do a search of Distinguishing Unit Insignia's.

Can you get into the military with a felony and can it get taken off if i do?

It is possible to join the military with a felony, but acceptance is at the discretion of the military branch based on the nature and severity of the offense. Having a felony on your record does not automatically disqualify you. As for having it removed, that would depend on the laws of the state where the offense occurred and the specific circumstances of the case.
