Re: What does this Symbolize ?

I'd bet $50 of your money that is a pin back DUI from WW2. It just happens to be missing the pin. Meyer was a common maker of all sorts of military pins.

Part of the pin was on it when I Dug it.

A simple Touch caused it to fall off

"DUI" ? as it refers to the Service ?

I Don't know what that is.

U.S. Uniforms:

Distinguishing Unit Insignia
Pins

Worn by Veterans of the Italian Campaign

The DUI pin was a small brass pin with enamel finish that represented a coat of arms for a specific Army unit. The shoulder patches and DUI pins worn on the US uniform were optional for some units. The DUI Pins were not worn in combat, of course; only on the dress uniform or the Ike jacket. On the lapels of the collar were usually worn a disc with "US" and the branch insignia and, below this, maybe a pair of unit insignia. There were hundreds of unit insignia pins.
