The Silver Star is awarded to American servicemen and women for gallantry or valor in action against an enemy of the United States. It is typically awarded during times of war, but it can also be awarded during peacetime for acts of exceptional bravery. The Silver Star can be conferred by any branch of the U.S. armed forces.

Yes, he was awarded a Silver Star for saving an entire Marine Recon Patrol by playing cat and mouse with enemy fighters to jam enemy radio and make himself a target to allow the Marines to be rescued. What makes it really cool, is he did it in an unarmed FAC!

How can I find out if my brother was awarded a Silver Star while serving in Viet Nam? There is no definitive list of silver star recipients. There are lists available if you do an internet search, but they are not complete or verified. If you want to find information on medals or awards given to a particular service member, you can request those records through the National Archives if you are the service member or a next of kin. Here is a link. http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/get-service-records.html

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.
