Yes, the award is also given for Merit which is basically doing an outstanding job in your duties. The bronze star is also given with a "V device" for Valor to distinguish it as being awarded for that reason. Awards like the Silver Star, Navy Cross, Distinguished Service Cross and other high ones are awarded strictly for Valor and do not need a V device attached. I have an Army Commendation Medal with a V device but also got 2 ARCOM's that same deployment strictly for Merit as a Service award.

No, Dusten Brown did not receive the Bronze Star. Dusten Brown is known for his involvement in a high-profile child custody case known as the Baby Veronica case, which pertained to the adoption of his biological daughter. There is no public record of him receiving the Bronze Star.
The Bronze Star with V device is awarded for acts of valor or heroism in a combat zone. It is a prestigious military decoration presented to individuals who have demonstrated bravery and courage under fire.

I couldn't find specific information about an Edwin McKinney from Upton, MA, receiving the Bronze Star. The Bronze Star is awarded for heroic or meritorious service in a combat zone, and such records are typically maintained by military archives or veterans' organizations. For accurate information, it may be best to consult these sources or local historical societies.
one is silver and one is bronze The Silver Star Medal is a higher award for bravery than the Bronze Star Medal. The Bronze Star Medal was issued to any Infantryman who fought in combat. The Silver Star Medal is silver and has a ribbon that is prodominately blue. The Bronze Star Medal is identical in size and design except it is bronze and has a ribbon that is mainly red.
The Bronze Star Medal is awarded for "heroic or meritorious achievement or service, not involving aerial flight, while engaged in combat against an enemy or while serving in combat with friendly foreign forces".
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."
The language governing the award of the Bronze Star Medal includes "heroic or meritorious achievement or service, not involving aerial flight, while engaged in combat against an enemy or while serving in combat with friendly foreign forces".
