The Bronze Star has two versions, one for meritorious service like sitting in an office and doing an exceptional job on important work, and the Bronze Star with V device for bravery in combat.

In 2001 Congress changed the rules that you have to at least be in the combat zone to be awarded the medal.

Thank you for the explanation, which had Reno89519 known herself, she could have simply provided that info to those of us on the thread (I wasn't the only one questioning the medal awards to DeSantis or Beau Biden). Since she didn't offer that info because she either chose not to or wasn't aware of it herself, she instead chose to fly off the handle like a rabid dog, screaming at people in capital letters, and making false accusations against people for simply wanting to know why. I'm also not the only one who she has ordered not to make any comments to her. And she herself has in error commented to me in the past, violating her own order.
