What is a military oak leaf cluster?
During the Viet war when a man earned (won, awarded, issued, etc.) the same medal twice the army just gave him an oak leaf cluster instead. It was a little piece of metal just bigger than a pencil point in the shape of an oak leaf (probably made of pot metal or brass). This oak leaf cluster was pinned onto the man's ribbon that he wore on his uniform. So if a serviceman earned the Bronze Star 3 times then he'd have two oak leaf clusters attached to his single Bronze Star ribbon. Keep in mind that the Bronze Star could be awarded for both either Meritorious or Valor reasons. If it was for valor then the orders HAD to read "with "V" device." In which case the ribbon would have a metal "V" pinned to the ribbon. Again, the V device was as small as the letter you're reading on your computer (V=actual size).
