content: This is a Good Conduct lapel pin and likely received along with the medal and service ribbon. The Army Good Conduct medal was authorized by Executive order 8809, on June 28, 1941. It is awarded to enlisted members who have honorably completed three consecutive years of active military service after August 26, 1940, and to those who are recommended by their commanding officers for exemplary behavior, efficiency, and fidelity. Those awarded this medal are required to have had character and efficiency ratings of excellent or higher throughout the qualifying period. During wartime, the Army Good Conduct medal could be awarded on completion of one year of service rather than three. On March 31, 1943, the time limit for service during World War II was lowered.
