That's a Hanacannapannatanna. Just joking. That's really a nice looking piece. I hope someone ID's it.

Hey Fanger!
Putting your new D2 to good use?
I am not a medals expert, so take this with a grain of salt... I also don’t know your state, so this may not fit.
After the US entered WW1, General Pershing invited the British Royal Flying Corps (RFC) to establish training bases near Fort Worth, Texas to train American and Canadian volunteers. Three bases were established, which were known as “The Flying Triangle”. I found pictures of a death medal for the RFC with a very similar lion facing right.
How the couple shaking hands with two children fits in would be the problem. As pure speculation, I recall aviators were sometimes issued friendship tokens to present to resistance forces when downed behind enemy lines. However, if correct, this should make such a token “common” enough (i.e. more than a few manufactured) such that internet documentation would be available. The fact I cannot find any on the internet makes me wonder if I am on the wrong track.
Whatever it is, congratulations! I would be thrilled to have found it!

I found FRC as Fraternitas Rosae Crucis (Rosicrucians). Can't find your exact medal. They did use the triangle design somewhat. This may not be what you have, though. Here's a website that lists hundreds of organizations for research.

Believe it or not both of yall's answers are the two nearest identifications I have got yet on this thing. Onehundred percent of the people Ive asked so far have said they didnt have a clue. Its a curiosity for sure, the woman has a little girl behind her and the man has a little boy behind him , the man and woman appear to be shaking hands and I cant figure what the three letters mean or the lion and pulltab there is nothing on the back side. Beats me.
I have another question. I went on a little digitup trip and found two gold rings! One was a 1924 womens graduation ring and the other a mens FFA ring. I cant tell the age of the FFA ring. Its a Balfour ring and was about ten feet fron the womens class ring. I will try to send a pic snd see if anyone knows the approximate year of the FFA ring??
