Any US Military Medals can be replaced by the recipient ONCE, FREE OF CHARGE. If they were US Army, they can send a letter, along with discharge listing medals awarded to: DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY, US ARMY RESERVE PERSONNEL CENTER, 9700 Page Blvd., St. Louis, MO. 63132-5200. Explain in the letter that the medal(s) were lost through no fault of your own (stolen, lost while moving, etc.) For members of other US services, I don't know what those addresses are, but they all must have something like the Army.

The bronze service star would be placed on one of those ribbons if they went to that campaign more than once. The Bronze Star is a special medal only awarded for actions of valor not just because you served.

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.
