A friend found this pin in with some US military insignia, is it military? Has anyone ever seen one? Any information would be helpful.

We'll it appears to be a nail. There is an award within the National Home Builders Assoc referred to as the silver spike. This is given to members for their success in recruiting new members to the organization. This nail reminds me of this award given out by the NAHB.

There was a group of Vietnam War Forward Air Control (FAC) pilots -- from the 23rd TASS -- that went by NAIL. That was the callsign for the 23rd. You can see a nail in much of their insignia. Curious what was with this pin.
