I believe that this is a sweetheart badge usually worn by American mothers to show that they have a son in service, in this case in the Infantry.

One star per son in service. If a son was killed the star became gold. There is also a "Gold Star Mothers" organisation. This was begun by the mothers of American "Doughboys" killed in WW1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americ...d_Star_Mothers
