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.
I believe I've read that 16 Medals of Honor were earned by Americans during the Battle of Iwo Jima.

no medals of honor were issued for the gulf war. However in April of 1991, 55 days after the cease fire was declared, Freddie Stowers was posthumously issued a medal of honor for service in WWI.
Did you mean: How many Medals of Honor were awarded in WWII? If so, it was around 432, plus about a dozen more since then for WWII.
NO Medals of Honor were awarded during the Mexican War (1840's) , as the MOH was not created until 1862 during the American Civil War.
432 Medals of Honor were awarded in WWII, but long after the end of the war, a group of 10 or so black WWII soldiers (some posthumously) were added to that number. They were given lesser awards because during the war the US Army was segregated, and as a result, no black Americans were awarded the MOH.
There is no limit. However, since the Medal of Honor is reserved for only the most profound actions far beyond gallantry of others, it is rarely awarded.
A lot.
