It sounds like a commemorative medallion which was struck for U.S. veterans of the St. Mihiel Offensive. Many such medallions were created in France to commemorate unit participation in campaigns during the Great War. You can find other examples here on the “Over There” and “Aisne-Marne” pages on the site.

It has 2 soldiers on it with a church or town hall in background. Wording: Lorraine, Etats- Unis, 12 Sept 1918. If anyone has an idea on this medal Please reply. Might have something to do with the Saint Mihiel Offensive.
