How do you know that he's a vet? The badge might be for a fraternal organization. There were hundreds of civilian groups that used similar badges in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

I believe Dave is correct - Patriotic Order Sons of America

Here's an example similar ribbon for comparison.

Doesn't mean he wasn't a Veteran - I've seen groupings with CW and POSA pieces. The POSA was established in 1847 - so it's totally logical that there would be CW Veterans that were members before or after the war.
