The Bronze Star Medal is a United States Armed Forces individual military decoration that may be awarded for bravery, acts of merit, or meritorious service. When awarded for bravery, it is the fourth-highest combat award of the U.S. Armed Forces and the ninth highest military award (including both combat and non-combat awards) in the order of precedence of U.S. Military decorations. The Bronze Star medal is an honor awarded by the United States government to men and women in any branch of the military who have demonstrated exceptional valor in combat. Like the Purple Heart, a definitive set of criteria exists to determine whether or not a person is eligible to receive this award.
