What is the value of a metal from World War 1 dated 19171919?
A metal what? Oh!?! You mean a Medal as in an award. It depends on the several factors. You should identify the MEDAL and describe it. Does it have the soldier's name engraved on it? Does the Medal include the Ribbon that it is hung from? Are both in good shape?
Your father had a bronze star bronze star ribbon and then a small bronze star ribbon What does that all mean?
It probably means he earned a Bronze Star Medal. The medal was awarded to the soldier in a case that included three items: A bronze Star Medal, a ribbon and maybe a metallic version of the ribbon. The Bronze Star Medal was a medal in the shape of a STAR that was bronze. It hung from a ribbon that was mainly RED with a BLUE and WHITE strip. If awarded to the soldier, the STAR would have his name engraved on the back. If the ribbon has an Oak Leaf device or a small Star device or a brass "V" attached to the ribbon, this denotes a special recognition for the award. The Oak Leaf represents a second award of the Medal. The "V" recognizes the soldier for Valor.

Normally it means Bronze Star Medal & Purple Heart. In Vietnam, a Bronze Star Medal could be given for EITHER Meritorius or Heroism. If it was awarded for Heroism, then the medal comes (on written orders) with a "V" device (which is attached to the cloth portion of the medal or attached to the ribbon). Most US servicemen always wore the ribbon; they seldom if ever wore the medals.
What does ribbon mean?
In the US Military, a "ribbon" is worn on the informal dress uniform, representing the medal. It is of the same color as the medal. There are also ribbons authorized for which no medal is used. In a dress uniform they are typically worn on the right side, while the medals are worn over the heart. You would never wear the medal and the ribbon representing the medal at the same time. Examples would be various unit citations or skill awards. The Navy issues marksmanship ribbons rather than badges. Sea Service Deployment ribbons are awarded for spending long periods of time deployed on ships or with Marine units.

What does it mean on World War 2 discharge papers he was awarded a GCM and a ET ribbon?
The discharge papers listed the soldier's awards and campaign credits. The papers will use acronymns which can be quite confusing.GCM is the Good Conduct Medal. This Medal was awarded to a soldier by the immeidate commander of his unit. It was awarded about 9 to 12 months after enlistment and was given for good conduct. This means he did what was expected and didn't get into trouble. This medal could be revoked if the soldier did something that deserved a "punishment".ET - I'm not aware of any "official" abbreviation as this. Maybe it was something used by the Navy or Coast Guard. In general terms, "ET" could mean European Theater. However this was not the official name for the medal or ribbon awarded for this. Soldiers who served in Germany, Italy, France or Britian, etc. would be awarded the European - African - Middle Eastern Campaign Medal which was abbreviated "EAME".
