The Bronze Star Medal is the fourth-highest individual military award.
It is the ninth-highest award by order of precedence in the US Military.
It may be awarded for acts of heroism, acts of merit, or meritorious service in a combat zone.
When it is awarded for acts of heroism, the medal is awarded with the "V" device attached.
The required acts are less heroic than those that qualify for the Silver Star.
