Finds from this past weekend

It was slim pickings this weekend, but I managed to find few unusual pieces. The tank destroyer badge is a cut edge patch with a aluminum backing that wraps around the edges of the patch on the front with a close pin on the back. I have not a clue on what it is, but I thought it was interesting. The navy ensign dog tag(fingerprint on back) looks like it has seen the worst of it. Named to Frank Lester Osborn or Osburn, not sure as it is double stamped U over O or vise versa. I haven't had any luck finding information on him(if anyone could help with information on him, it would be much appreciated). The coast guard service award dog tag is something I have never seen before, and at $2, I couldn't go wrong. I hope you enjoy!

A pin on pocket patch!?! Might have been used by the trainies to show pride as to who they were when out and about?
