What is the difference between the bronze star service medal in World War 2 and a Bronze Star?
The Bronze Star Medal could be awarded for either "meritorious service" or for "valor". If the award was for valor, the Medal was awarded with a bronze "V device" to be worn on the ribbon of the Medal. After the war was over the Army decided that every WWII veteran was entitled to the Bronze Star Medal, but the award was for "meritorious service", not "valor", so no "V device".

Bronze star receipients?
There is no overall list. There were tens of thousands of recipients during the war. Than after the war the Army decided that anyone who was eligible to wear the Combat Infantryman's Badge was also entitled to the Bronze Star. There were two types of awards of the Bronze Star: for valor, in which case the Medal came with a bronze "V Device" to be worn on the ribbon, denoting that the award was for valor, or, for "meritorious service", which came without the "V Device". The mass awarding after the war to CIB holders was for "meritorious service", so, no "V Device". If a soldier had earned a Bronze Star before he was discharged it would be noted on his discharge papers, along with all awards and decorations which he was entitled to wear. Many men were already discharged before the decision to make the mass awarding of the Bronze Star was implemented, and they had to write in for their Bronze Star, which many never did.
