Col. David Hackworth with 10 silver stars which he had received in the Korean and Vietnam Wars.
About 345 men from Puerto Rico died in the Viet War. They weren't all soldiers, some were US Marines, Airmen and Sailors. Often times those men killed in action were awarded the Bronze Star medal. A photo of their (military issue) headstone will state what medal was issued (posthumously). The US military lists MOH recipients but not normally lesser awards.
Yes he did, he also received the Bronze Star and 3 Purple Hearts while serving 2 tours of duty in Vietnam.
No
it was the first bronze metal
In Vietnam, the Bronze Star was awarded for BOTH "Meritorious Achievement" and "Valor." If the medal was awarded for Valor it was designated to be accompanied by a brass/bronze metal "V" device. All women in the US military in Vietnam were either administrative personnel or medical nurses and they were not allowed near the front lines but operated in major base camps such as Quang Tri, Phu Bai, Da Nang, etc. They didn't operate at firebases, as a rule. US military women most assuredly were awarded Bronze Stars for Meritorious Achievements.

As far as I can remember, you must have five bronze battle stars to receive one silver 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 ,
