How big?  Look for a vendor selling modern US Army insignia for collars and hats.  The collar insignia for enlisted men have a background disk but, at least in my day, it was a separate piece that could be removed.  The officer version didn't have the background.  Here is one for officers; here is one for enlisted.

Good link, George.  I was going to suggest any of the vendors that are around Ft. Sill, OK.
