![]() Dying is considered a greater sacrifice than getting wounded. The military has a tradition of recognizing those who die for their country. Since I was only wounded, I was nominated for the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart. He was killed in action and the Company Commander recommended him for the higher award along with the Purple Heart. My award came at the same time that a soldier in my platoon, Sp4th Class Charles Brown received the Silver Star. One could get a Bronze Star for outstanding work in the field of logistics, supply and maintenance. This distinguishes the medal from other forms of recognition for meritorious service in such branches as the supply corps or transportation corps. The growing list is publicly accessible on The War Library.I was awarded the Bronze Star with "V" Device. The War Library is continually compiling a list of confirmed Bronze Star Medal recipients from all Service Branches. The Bronze Star Medal is awarded to any person who, after December 6, 1941, while serving in any capacity with the Armed Forces of the United States, distinguishes himself or herself by heroic or meritorious achievement or service, not involving participation in aerial flight. There are three types of Bronze Star Medal: Achievement, Merit or Valor. ![]() Click Here to EMAIL THIS PAGE to a friend.(This Information Site is Continually Updated.)
