The Vietnamese civilization began in the early Bronze age some time around 2,000 BC.
Because of the large number of the Bronze Star Medal awarded, no single list exists
Three Silver Stars and 5 Bronze stars were awarded to crew members ofthe Canon during the Vietnamese Conflict.
In Vietnam, the Bronze Star was awarded for BOTH "Meritorious Achievement" and "Valor." If the medal was awarded for Valor it was designated to be accompanied by a brass/bronze metal "V" device. All women in the US military in Vietnam were either administrative personnel or medical nurses and they were not allowed near the front lines but operated in major base camps such as Quang Tri, Phu Bai, Da Nang, etc. They didn't operate at firebases, as a rule. US military women most assuredly were awarded Bronze Stars for Meritorious Achievements.
There were 395,380 Bronze Stars awarded to World War II veterans; 30,359 for Korea; 170,626 for valor and 549,343 for achievement/service for Vietnam (the first time valor medals were tracked separately); and 2,459 for valor and 99,886 for achievement/service for Operation Iraqi Freedom.
he was awarded 2 bronze stars in 1971
During WWI, WWII, Korean War, and the Vietnam War, fighting men were just doing their duty. War heros in those wars HAD TO EARN that title! By being awarded the "V" device or other such medal, such as the Bronze Star w/V (the Bronze Star, in Vietnam, could be award for Meritorius Achievement), Silver Star, Medal of Honor, etc. etc. After the Vietnam War, civilians (and to some extent the military) began abusing that title, calling everybody a hero...which reduced the value of the real heros...to the point where YOU MUST NOW QUESTION...What's a hero?! For the American Fighting Men of WWII, Korea, and the Vietnam Wars, we were just doing our jobs as the military ordered it to be done (combat veterans). When any man was awarded a medal for gallantry (Valor), he earned it on the field of battle (war hero). That's the difference.
Both fighters in the match are awarded bronze by default
The Vietnam Women's Memorial is a memorial dedicated to the women of the United States who served in the Vietnam War, most of whom were nurses. It serves as a reminder of the importance of women in the conflict. It is part of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and is located on the Mall in Washington DC, a short distance south of The Wall, north of the Reflecting Pool. Diane Carlson Evans, who served as a nurse in the army during the Vietnam War, initiated the drive to add the bronze sculpture to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. It was designed by Glenna Goodacre and dedicated on November 11, 1993.
No list exists. The Bronze Star medal was created in 1944, so it has existed for over 65 years. A time when the US was involved in WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq/Afghanistan, to name but a few. Because the medal is awarded for combat and non-combat actions, tens of thousands have been awarded.
The Bronze Star Medal is awarded for "Heroic or meritorious achievement or service." While there is no complete list compiled of Bronze Stars awarded during Vietnam, medals awarded may be looked up on the National Archives website.
