It's the US Army rank/grade insignia for Staff Sergeant (SSgt) E-6. FYI you have it inverted, the point goes up!

Cool thank you Mike did not know that.Have any idea of a year this could be and if it went on a helmet?

They were pinned to the green-bean hats, the collars, and some people did attach them to their helmet covers.
