bronze star medal recipients. omg.

bronze star. that's just alright in my eyes.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.)
