Looks to be a Army "General Service" button, the backmark may further the I.D.

Welcome to TreasureNet!
The second one is Marine Corps. And there also a backmark could help five a date range.

An eagle clutching a fouled anchor with thirteen six-pointed stars above was used on uniform buttons starting in 1804
That same insignia is used today on the buttons of Marine dress and service uniforms, with the six-pointed stars changed to five-pointed stars
