Default NAVY INSIGNIA

JACK, The pin that you located came from the Desert Storm Conflict and was given as a participating ribbon during that time. The person that received the pin served on a Battle Ship during the conflict...Fairly newer pin but will probably be worth keeping for the future.....PAPPY :D :D :D
