With all the information we have, this should be solved on 2 minutes. But its not.

It appears to be late 40's-early 50's and Im finding a phrase connection to boating is knowlege and power and maybe the US Coast Guard. http://www.sportfishingmag.com/boats/boating-skills/boating-knowledge-power

I also found this pin with anchors. http://armynavywisconsin.com/products/SRDUI-0163G

Having the dove and the star (star of Bethlehem maybe?) I would lean more to a religious pin then military.

PS. Moving to the swamp? Dude, let's have a cajun cookout!

I did a search and couldn't find it.

I looked through a bunch of Distinctive Unit Insignias.

The color orange appeared on many Signal Corps Insignias.

That's all that I can contribute.
