Yes. It is a higher award.
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".
one is silver and one is bronze The Silver Star Medal is a higher award for bravery than the Bronze Star Medal. The Bronze Star Medal was issued to any Infantryman who fought in combat. The Silver Star Medal is silver and has a ribbon that is prodominately blue. The Bronze Star Medal is identical in size and design except it is bronze and has a ribbon that is mainly red.
Try the "American War Library."
It probably means he earned a Bronze Star Medal. The medal was awarded to the soldier in a case that included three items: A bronze Star Medal, a ribbon and maybe a metallic version of the ribbon. The Bronze Star Medal was a medal in the shape of a STAR that was bronze. It hung from a ribbon that was mainly RED with a BLUE and WHITE strip. If awarded to the soldier, the STAR would have his name engraved on the back. If the ribbon has an Oak Leaf device or a small Star device or a brass "V" attached to the ribbon, this denotes a special recognition for the award. The Oak Leaf represents a second award of the Medal. The "V" recognizes the soldier for Valor.
Medal of Honor is the highest combat heroism award possible, Silver Star is the Third, and Bronze Star is the fourth. Second is Distinguished Service Cross.
Your first award is a medal or a ribbon (depending on the uniform you're wearing) each subsequest award you receive a small bronze star (up to four, indicating your fifth awardy (Ribbon is one + four stars = five awards. Your sixth award is a small silver star. Seventh, a small silver star and a small bronze star etc....
If you have the Bronze Star award on your Military Discharge, or if you have the Citation for it, take them to a Veteran Service Officer at any US Federal Building (some county offices have them, too). They will help you.
