Best Answer

Some are bronze, like the bronze star.

It is called a silver star, in fact it is bronze with a silver star of smaller size inside the larger star. I got to see one when I went to the awarding for a guy in my unit. You can see what they look like by doing an image search in Google. The Silver Star is the third highest metal for Valor in the United Stats military. the ranking of metals awarded for Valor (Army, navy and Air force have different Crosses) are as listed below

Metal of Honor

Distinguished Service Cross (Army)

Silver Star

Bronze Star with V for Valor

Bronze Stars can also be awarded for service but they do not have the V device for valor

How many Silver Stars were awarded in World War 2?

The Silver Star Medal was awarded only for heroism in combat. In the medal hierarchy it ranks after the Medal of Honor and the Distinguished Service Cross (or Navy Cross) which are also only given for heroism in combat and before the Bronze Star Medal (either a heroism or meritorius service medal). This is a high honor for any serviceman. Occasionally people will ask this question because they have a campaign ribbon or other decoration with small 1/4 inch stars attached that are either bronze or silver in color. These stars indicate the number of times the decoration was awarded or the number of campaign's the recipient participated in. A bronze star equals 1 and a silver star equals five bronze stars
