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.
