The Bronze Star Medal (BSM or BSV) is an award presented to United States Armed Forces personnel for bravery, acts of merit or meritorious service. When awarded for combat heroism it is awarded with a V device for Valor. It is the fourth highest combat award of the Armed Forces.
Originally created in February of 1944, this medal was retroactively awarded to many WWII veterans. During 1947, policy was put into place that authorized the retroactive award of the Bronze Star Medal to any serviceman who had received the Combat Infantryman Badge or the Combat Medical Badge. Both of these badges required the recommendation of a commander and had to be accompanied with a citation. Additional awards of the Bronze Star Medal are represented by Oak Leaf Clusters in the Army and Air Force while 5/16th inch Gold Stars are used by the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard. Foreign Service Personnel are eligible for the award if they are serving with US Armed Forces.

"Being a daughter of WWII veteran's, I have always honored their service. An extensive research of their Army records revealed what medals and ribbons they were awarded. Through USAMM I was able to recreate their awards. I have a beautiful display for future generations to honor and remember the scarifies my parents made in service to our country."

"Had to use the original due to the limited space of the presentation box that was attached to the burial flag case. I put the new one in the old case and it is inside the back of the presentation box. Quality was outstanding even though it was larger than one issued during the Korean War. Thank you"
"Bought these items for a shadow box for the family of a Vietnam veteran who passed away. Extremely happy with the product."
"those anodized medals are ugly and disrespectful, but I wanted one in my collection"
