Sometimes there are little wires on the back of the V- those go thru the ribbon itself- or you can cut the wires and glue it on.
The V-device is attached to the Bronze Star by inserting it onto the ribbon bar or attaching it to the suspension ribbon of the medal. It is typically placed at the center of the ribbon or just above the medal itself, indicating that the Bronze Star was awarded for valor.
21st century procedures might be different than 20th century procedures, but normally only the Medal of Honor rates official photographs. The Bronze Star rates well below the MOH; in addition, the Bronze Star can (or was in the past) be issued for MERITORIOUS service, as well as for valor. If the Bronze Star was awarded for Valor, the upper cloth portion had a bronze colored metal "V" attached to it, denoting Valor. If it didn't have that letter "V" attached to it, then the Bronze Star was issued for MERITORIOUS achievement.

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.
Regulations change. During the Vietnam War, the US Army Bronze Star could be awarded for MERITORIUS Achievement or Heroism. If for heroism, the Bronze Star ribbon portion had a letter "V" attached, denoting "Valor."
