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.
