    These are pins given to my mother as gifts by soldiers stationed at Hendrick's Field Sebring, Florida during WWII. My mother is the young waitress behind the counter to the left. She and her co-worker are serving a few soldiers from Hendrick's Field. The name of the restaurant was called the "Merry-Go-Round" and it was a very popular spot for the soldiers at that time.

      Nice wings!

      The other items are called distinctive unit insignia (DUI) or simply unit crests. I have seen this crest before-- believe it is for Army Air Force Training units. A search of the motto should confirm.
