In Vietnam, the Bronze Star was awarded for BOTH "Meritorious Achievement" and "Valor." If the medal was awarded for Valor it was designated to be accompanied by a brass/bronze metal "V" device. All women in the US Military in Vietnam were either administrative personnel or medical nurses and they were not allowed near the front lines but operated in major base camps such as Quang Tri, Phu Bai, Da Nang, etc. They didn't operate at firebases, as a rule. US military women most assuredly were awarded Bronze Stars for Meritorious Achievements.

Regulations change. During the Vietnam War, the US Army Bronze Star could be awarded for MERITORIUS Achievement or Heroism. If for heroism, the Bronze Star ribbon portion had a letter "V" attached, denoting "Valor."

NO. That Bronze star on the Service Medal is not the same. That medal is in recognition of how many deployments to that area. The 'Bronze Star' itself stands alone.

Yes, Colin Powell earned a Bronze Star for his service during the Vietnam War. He was awarded this honor for his actions as an advisor to a South Vietnamese infantry regiment, where he demonstrated bravery and leadership under fire. The Bronze Star recognizes his meritorious service and contributions during a challenging period in U.S. military history.

Yes he did, he also received the Bronze Star and 3 Purple Hearts while serving 2 tours of duty in Vietnam.
Use caution on those medals. The Bronze Star could also be awarded for Meritorious Achievement. If the Bronze Star has a "V" device attached to the ribbon portion, then the award is for VALOR (Bravery). See website: Statistics About the Vietnam War
