I work with a fellow police officer who cliams to have won both the bronz star and silver star during Vietnam yet was never wonded. He further claims to served 3 tours of duty in country with the U.S. Army. I find it hard to belive an individual won both awards. Does anyone know of this happening?
A total of 58,168 American soldiers died in Vietnam during the Vietnam War!!
The exact number of soldiers who died in North Vietnam during the Vietnam War is difficult to determine, as there are varying estimates. However, it is believed that around 1 million soldiers from North Vietnam died during the conflict.
Rock 'n roll.
About 345 men from Puerto Rico died in the Viet War. They weren't all soldiers, some were US Marines, Airmen and Sailors. Often times those men killed in action were awarded the Bronze Star medal. A photo of their (military issue) headstone will state what medal was issued (posthumously). The US military lists MOH recipients but not normally lesser awards.
Soldiers from the United States were sent to South Vietnam to support the government and combat the communist insurgency during the Vietnam War.
