Eagle pin? Possibly military related, help!

[washingtonian]

Hello all, so I found this...pin? in september at a Bible camp. This camp extends back to the early 1900s so I'm assuming the piece is pretty old. If it helps the oldest coin I found in the region was 1910, so that may give you an idea of how it old may be. I'm guessing it is something military related, but I have never seen anything like it. Thanks for your help in advance!

I have one in my collection but it appears to be a bit different. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370321451812&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

The first one posted is an Officers service hat insignia (Eagle with no circle or plate behind it). The second one is an Enlisted service hat insignia. Both are associated with the US Army.
