battle star.I received four bronze battle stars in Vietnam myself, and read once that this is correct. If I''am wrong,please state other wise.
Thank You, Nam Vet ,

Each Bronze Star represents a separate campaign (battle) they were part of. Four Bronze Stars four seperates campaigns.
These battle stars were usually awarded as a means of recognition that a person in service was in a particular battle or a series of campaigns . A distinction should be made when referring to a Silver or Bronze star which is given in recognition of courage or valor in battle . ~ see related link below .
Three Silver Stars and 5 Bronze stars were awarded to crew members ofthe Canon during the Vietnamese Conflict.
The silver star, indicating 5 subsequent awards, should be centered on the ribbon with a bronze star on either side. If on a medal the bronze stars should be above and beneath the silver star which should always be centered in the middle of the ribbon. If on the ribbon award, the bronze stars should be just to the right and left of the silver star.
Battle stars indicate campaign battles
To unlock the bronze trophy on miniclip you have to win 50 challenges. silver is 100, gold maybe 250 or 200, and blue is 1000. for ranks bronze is 1 1/2 stars, silver is 2 1/2 stars gold is 3 stars and i think blue is 4. Oh ya look me up and challenge me I'm Shadow Hound on miniclip
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

The bronze and silver stars will react with water, eventually. Since I think you mean "metals", how about sodium and potassium?
Awards up to and including the Silver star were within the authority of the division commander, usually a major general (two stars). This would include the bronze star with "V" device.
The Silver Star Medal was awarded only for heroism in combat. In the medal hierarchy it ranks after the Medal of Honor and the Distinguished Service Cross (or Navy Cross) which are also only given for heroism in combat and before the Bronze Star Medal (either a heroism or meritorius service medal). This is a high honor for any serviceman. Occasionally people will ask this question because they have a campaign ribbon or other decoration with small 1/4 inch stars attached that are either bronze or silver in color. These stars indicate the number of times the decoration was awarded or the number of campaign's the recipient participated in. A bronze star equals 1 and a silver star equals five bronze stars
