post a clearer pic of the button so I can see the details.

From what I can see it is a: US "Great Seal" button.
The Great Seal design was used from 1902 - the present.
I have never seen a Military Service Button that is in colour.
(I dont say it is not military, but I have never one. I may be wrong)
This design is also used on fashion design buttons.

You must try and clean up the back to see if there is any writing on the back.
The Military buttons 99% of the time will have the manufacturer mark or name on it.
