An "Impact Award" is the pinning on of a medal very soon after a heroism award is turned in to higher headquarters for approval.
Often a higher commander will show up at the unit after a battle and pin on these 'impact awards' during a unit ceremony.
The actual award is written up with a recommended citation and description of the heroic act, and is passed along to higher headquarters for approval.
If a soldier received a Bronze Star impact award, the actual award will come along later with the official paperwork. The impact award is presented without paperwork.
Some soldiers have received an impact award, but the actual award never shows up on his official record. If that occurs, application is made to the Board of Corrections to fix it.

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.
