navy emblem on gravestone? #general

i was surprised to find this emblem, crossed anchors and a shield under an eagle, which i think is navy, on a relative’s gravestone in texas.  

there are similar symbols online, as naval officers’ badges, but i found no records to indicate that he served in the navy, just a draft card and a medical discharge for a non-com infantryman with a similar name.  and i don’t know what the feather next to it means.  any suggestions?
