The ribbon is awarded to military personnel involved in WWII in the European Theater. The four bronze stars mean the person participated in four campaigns during that war. A campaign is a major operation usually involving many Army divisions. This is not to be confused with the bronze star medal ... awarded to someone for valor on the battlefield.
Win 10 times for a bronze ribbon, 20 times for a silver ribbon, 30 times for a gold ribbon, 50 times for a platinum ribbon, 100 times for a diamond ribbon

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

You will wear 3 bronze oak leaves. You can wear up to 4 bronze. If you are awarded again then 1 silver oak leaf will be worn, and no bronze till the next one.
you will wear the AAM ribbon with 4 bronze oak leaf clusters. The ribbon counts as 1 itself so when you wear 4 bronze clusters on it your wearing 5. then once you get 6 AAM's youll just have one silver since the ribbon counts as one so 5+1=6.

Use caution on those medals. The Bronze Star could also be awarded for Meritorious Achievement. If the Bronze Star has a "V" device attached to the ribbon portion, then the award is for VALOR (Bravery). See website: Statistics About the Vietnam War
