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".
A medal for bravery
There is no such comprehensive listing.
Retro lancer hammerburst and the lance. This will get you the rifleman medal. If you add the shotguns, you will get the master-of-arms medal.

As far as I know, there is no list for recipients of the Bronze Star Medal from WWII. The reason for this is, unlike higher awards that are awarded strictly for combat actions (Medal of Honor, Distinguished Service Cross, Distinguished Service Medal- which have lists of recipients) the Bronze Star Medal may be awarded also for non-combat reasons. Because of this, the list would be extraordinarily long, particularly for a period of war.
Henry Ford received the Bronze Star Medal posthumously in 1947 for his contributions to the Allied war effort during World War II. The medal recognized his manufacturing expertise and achievements in producing military equipment and vehicles.
The Bronze Star medal has been awarded to several thousand US service members during the Gulf War. Not possible to list them all.

During the Viet War, a Bronze Star could be awarded for Meritorious Achievement. If the Bronze Star was for heroism it must have the "V" device attached to it (as well as the written orders authorizing it). An "Air Medal" was for aviation performance; in the US Army (during the Viet War), 25 CAs (Combat Air Assaults) from a helicopter, for a US Infantryman (Grunt), authorized him an "Air Medal."
The total number of Bronze Star Medals awarded during World War 2 is unknown. The 82nd Airborne alone was awarded 2,478 Bronze Stars. The medal was created in 1944.
