You might try this website, it is a history of the 88th. There might be someone in there you can contact for information about Charles Eckman http://www.lonesentry.com/unithistory/88thinfantry/page1.html The unit history of the 88th Division is "The Blue Devils in Italy; A History of the 88th Infantry Division in World War II" by John Delaney, printed in 1947 and still available by Battery Press, Nashville. The book has one appendix with a roster of casualties(KIA) and another one for decorations.

What does a World War 2 pin circular with crossed rifles mean?
It sounds like you are describing a collar brass insignia for Infantry. The Army had several Branches such as Infantry, Ordnance, Air Corps, Legal, Medical, etc. A soldier wore a round brass insiginia that was 1.0 inch diameter on the collar of his uniform that indicated his branch of service. On this disc was an emblem that was a symbol of his branch. The symbol for the infantry was crossed rifles. Notice that a soldier may be assigned to an Infantry Division but be a part of the Medial service or the Artillery. Therefore, the insignia he wore would reflect this specialty and not the Infantry. This branch insignia was worn on the LEFT collar. On the Right collar was worn a similar disc with "US" on it.
