    My Father was awarded the Silver Star and the Bronze star during WW2 but he is only listed for the Silver Star. Makes you wonder how meny other of our War HERO'S have been forgotten. I am also a Vet .My Father's name was ROY E. HEFNER he was in Germany, in case anyone cares.

    Why is Oliver Stone (yes... the movie director) not listed? He was awarded the Star AND a Purple Heart with Oak Leaf Clusters.

    Not even close to the complete list. My grandfather was awarded it in 1955 for service in the Mediterranean Theater in 1944. Someone fix this list!

      Same result for me. I Was unable to find my dad A combat wounded WWII veteran nor my brother A Vietnam war veteran nor can I find myself in these records all three of us served in the infantry all three of us bronze star & ph recipients. None of us viewed these awards as having been won.

    This list of "All" the BSM "winners" is a total joke. Based on my limited experience in the US Army, I estimate there have been well over a million BSM's earned by soldiers since its creation. I am just one of them.

    Sorry but this is not a complete list. My father received one in Vietnam but he's not mentioned here.

    My brother swears he got his in Vietnam for finding a general a bed.
  17. Not a Tea Party asswad
    Bronze Star Medal Recipients at 4/15/2011 4:18 AM
    God bless the tea party! They believe that you win a medal! Those middle school drop outs who are pissed about how our government works, thos morons need to serve in the military. There are no "bronze star winners", people don't "win" the congressional medal of honor. I know these idiots can't figure it out, but they should try to understand "Plato's Cave". Winning a lottery is one thing. Being awarded a military medal, because you earned it, that's something these dickwads will never understand. They live in Plato's Cave.

    This "complete list" actually seems more like a politically partisan list of the people that Fox News viewers can identify with. There are literally thousands of Bronze Star recipients since it's creation on 4 February 1944. Besides, calling a recipient of the Bronze Star, a "Bronze Star Winner" is actually an insult to the people who EARNED this award. They didn't get it through a lottery, they didn't WIN it, they received it by order of the Secretary of their branch of service, because they did something to deserve it. People who win things get it because of luck or chance. You don't "win" a military medal, and only tea partiers would say that, since they are couch potato wannabee warriors.

    Bronze Star Medal Recipients at 4/13/2011 3:23 AM
    Surely this isn't "All Bronze Star Medal Winners", as I found well over 10 pages of results just searching for a single last name on the National Archives website, limited to between 1965 and 1972. My understanding of the Bronze Star is that it is a very, very common award, given for "meritorious service" most of the time. Maybe "baker" confused it with the Silver Star, which is actually a very heroic medal. The second greatest medal, behind the CMH. The Bronze Star is awarded to any service member receiving combat pay who distinguishes, or has distinguished, himself by heroic or meritorious achievement or service, not involving partic**ation in aerial flight. Heroic or meritorious. So he might have done something extraordinarily brave, or he might have been the best cook in a combat mess hall. My father used to joke about David Hackworth's bronze star, saying that while he had earned his while being ambushed in the jungle, Hackworth earned his by being the best paper shuffler back at HHC company. None of his fellow 1st of the 101st alumni think very much about Col. David Hackworth. (this list is certainly incomplete, since my father and David Hackworth and dozens of the other first US based combat troops sent to Vietnam in June 1965 who received bronze stars are not listed here.)

      msg in ref to "Son of a 101st ABN Vet" Sir, being a son of a Veteran does not make you an authority. Especially ref 2nd hand info. You Sir, are a discredit to anyone who has received an award.

        Lighten up and try to find the sense of humor Hermanator was trying to impart. He was not disrespectful in any way.

        Msg in ref to "withstanding". Sir, I am a Veteran and served in Vietnam with the 101st ABN Div. I earned a BSM as well as an ACM - I did not win them in a contest. I find nothing in what "Son of a 101st ABN Vet" had to say to be a discredit to those of us who earned this medal. I find your reply to "Son of a 101st ABN Vet" to be ridiculous. You provide no basis for you opinion. He does not claim to be an authority. He merely shared what he heard his father say. Further this "list" is a JOKE. Anyone who comes here expecting any type of "authority" is delusional.
