No, a Silver Star is only awarded under such cicumstances that "valor" is apparaent, thus no V insignia is added, however the Bronze Star can be awarded with or without a V.

Why stars are silver?
Some are bronze, like the bronze star. It is called a silver star, in fact it is bronze with a silver star of smaller size inside the larger star. I got to see one when I went to the awarding for a guy in my unit. You can see what they look like by doing an image search in Google. The Silver Star is the third highest metal for Valor in the United Stats military. the ranking of metals awarded for Valor (Army, navy and Air force have different Crosses) are as listed below Metal of Honor Distinguished Service Cross (Army) Silver Star Bronze Star with V for Valor Bronze Stars can also be awarded for service but they do not have the V device for valor
Why was I awarded a Bronze Star V in Vietnam when I was told that I would be getting a DSC or Silver Star V?
Because the Bronze Star V was the impact award and then would have to be upgraded to a Silver Star or DSC at a later date. By the way there is no V device available with a silver star. Medal submission are made for a specific medal. As it goes through the chain of command for approvals, it is reviewed and compared to the actions of others that are being recommended for awards. They will make adjustments to the level of award to provide a consistent level of award for similar actions. I've seen a Commendation Medal reduced all the way to a Letter of Commendation. It is very common for a nomination for a Medal of Honor to be dropped as far down as a Bronze Star.
What Women recevied bronze star in Vietnam?
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.
What is the difference between the bronze star service medal in World War 2 and a Bronze Star?
The Bronze Star Medal could be awarded for either "meritorious service" or for "valor". If the award was for valor, the Medal was awarded with a bronze "V device" to be worn on the ribbon of the Medal. After the war was over the Army decided that every WWII veteran was entitled to the Bronze Star Medal, but the award was for "meritorious service", not "valor", so no "V device".
Is there a list of Silver Star recipients from the Vietnam War?
How can I find out if my brother was awarded a Silver Star while serving in Viet Nam? There is no definitive list of silver star recipients. There are lists available if you do an internet search, but they are not complete or verified. If you want to find information on medals or awards given to a particular service member, you can request those records through the National Archives if you are the service member or a next of kin. Here is a link. http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/get-service-records.html

Can you receive the bronze star if your not in combat?
Yes, the award is also given for Merit which is basically doing an outstanding job in your duties. The bronze star is also given with a "V device" for Valor to distinguish it as being awarded for that reason. Awards like the Silver Star, Navy Cross, Distinguished Service Cross and other high ones are awarded strictly for Valor and do not need a V device attached. I have an Army Commendation Medal with a V device but also got 2 ARCOM's that same deployment strictly for Merit as a Service award.
