Deftone, Great ID !!
[FONT=&quot] In August 1917 monogram disks with the letters USNG (United States National Guard) and USNA (United States National Army) were approved. The USNG were federalized National Guard units and the USNA were units comprised of drafted soldiers. (These disks were worn on the right side of the collar.)

THANK YOU!!!! I appreciate the link as I had not even considered a military option, nor that it could be as old as it is....
