Answer:Medals are awarded for both bravery and for courage so there is a difference. Bravery is completing an action that is very dangerous and possibly life threatening without thinking. This can be from an automated response or from a belief that you cannot be hurt. (e.g. fighting in battle; having a tooth out; a firefighter saving someone from a burning building). Courage is completing an action that is very dangerous and possibly life threatening knowing full well the possible outcomes and still completing the task (e.g. dashing out to drag a dying friend back; jumping into a river to save a stranger..). However I think these days, people use the terms interchangeably without really reflecting on the difference.
