The Bronze Star Medal could be awarded for either "meritorious service" or for "valor". If the award was for valor, the Medal was awarded with a bronze "V device" to be worn on the ribbon of the Medal. After the war was over the Army decided that every WWII veteran was entitled to the Bronze Star Medal, but the award was for "meritorious service", not "valor", so no "V device".
Assuming you refer to the United States, the highest gallantry award, is the Medal of Honor, which awarded (often posthumously) to a significant act or acts of bravery that caused a great deal of difference in the outcome of a battle, or directly saved many lives, even at the sacrifice of the person who is honored. The next highest is the Distinguished Service Cross, followed by the Silver Star, and then the Bronze Star with "V" for Valor, and finally the Commendation Medal with "V" device for valor.
The medal is properly called: "Military Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal", and one does not personally apply for the award. One must be recommended for the award by a higher authority, such as a commanding officer.
