The US Army "Bronze Star" can be won by valor, or earned by meritorious achievement. If the medal is won by valor, the upper ribbon portion will have a gold plated letter "V" (Denoting Valor) pinned to the cloth. Orders MUST accompany ALL medals; no orders, no medal. For WW2 veterans, a rule was passed in 1947 that allowed any veteran who was an infantry man and had earned the Combat Infantry Badge was eligible to be awarded the BSM. Also BSM were awarded for a variety of reasons. I've seen General Orders that issued them to clerks who had outstanding performance at their job during heavy periods of combat but NOT while directly in combat. Joe Louis was a Hollywood entertainer who spent much of his time and money visiting troops around the world. He was one of the few civilians awarded a BSM.
