Bronze Star

HONOR

Awarded since 1944, retroactively to 1941, by the US Military to soldiers who distinguish themselves by heroism or meritorious efforts in combat. Not all Bronze Stars, however, are awarded for combat operations, and criticisms have been directed at the apparent "inflation" of the award.

During WWII, the 101st Airborne Division was awarded 6,977 Bronze Stars.

The US Army issued an astonishing 681 Bronze Stars for the invasion of Grenada in 1983. In perspective, during the entire operation, a mere 19 American soldiers were killed, and 116 wounded.

321 Bronze Stars were awarded for the Kosovo Air Campaign. Three of these were awarded to officers for obtaining overflight permissions from foreign governments. During the course of the campaign, no Americans were killed during combat, and two soldiers were killed in a non-combat helicopter crash.

During the Persian Gulf War, the US Army awarded 27,243 Bronze Stars.

During the Iraq War, some 38,000 Bronze Stars were awarded.
