[QUOTE="Northern Lights Lodge, post: 4004774, member: 13464"]Thank you all for your posts and links... BUT... now I'm really confused! I see some with the extended wings like mine that are both Civil War and ALSO WWI. Perhaps, however, it does answer some questions; because both seem to be Marine Corp and neither the grandfathers that served in the Civil War were in the Marine Corp. One was in the Calvalry and another was in some Wisconsin Regiment. Neither had mention of Marine in the title. The only other military man on that side of the family; enlisted, but for some reason never served... and I don't think he was a marine. SO... these shall be a mystery for the time being. I do have some additional military buttons... I'll have to post pics of them the next time I run across them. Thanks again, Leslie[/QUOTE]
