This little Rosette is made by Bsiley Banks & Biddle. It came in a box of mixed items from a husband and, I think, his wife. The man served as a Captain and Major on the Mexican Border and in WWI, in the field artillery. I do not think he was overseas during WWI. He also served in the ETO during WWII. It appears that a relative, possibly his wife, served in the ETO with the Red Cross. I am assuming it is his, but???This lapel rosette has me stumped. It is probably a foreign order. But I thought maybe I would get lucky with the wisdom that abounds here! Thanks for any help.

I know the Sons of the American Revolution had one very similar to that. 

 

Google rosette lapel button. This one is close. https://www.ebay.com/itm/156250334915

 

Here's an Alibaba listing showing ribbons and their corresponding rosettes. https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Wholesale-French-Rosettes-Supplier-Custom-Vietnam_1700001582776.html

 

The state Mexican border service ribbons have red and blue in them. A possibility. https://www.ebay.com/itm/306052111812

That Ebay one isn't even remotely close that one has striped going all the way around it this one doesn't they are even the same colors. My thinking is its the Scabbard and Blade Society witch is a military organization. It's also the correct colors for it.

I did say close, but true. My post wasn't especially helpful there.
