The Silver Star is awarded to American servicemen and women for gallantry or valor in action against an enemy of the United States. It is typically awarded during times of war, but it can also be awarded during peacetime for acts of exceptional bravery. The Silver Star can be conferred by any branch of the U.S. armed forces.
