BRONZE STAR RECIPIENTS
|
|
|
The
Bronze Star is authorized by Executive Order No. 9419 on Feb. 4,
1944. It is awarded to a person in any branch of the military
service who, while serving in any capacity with the armed forces
of the United States on or after Dec. 7, 1941, shall have
distinguished himself by heroic or meritorious achievement or
service, not involving participation in aerial flight, in
connection with ground military operations against an armed
enemy. T The award recognizes acts of heroism performed in ground combat if they are of lesser degree than that required for the Silver Star. It also recognizes single acts of merit and meritorious service if the achievement or service is of a lesser degree than that deemed worthy of the Legion of Merit; but such service must have been accomplished with distinction. When awarded for heroism, the Bronze Star Medal is annotated by a bronze "V" device (to designate valor). Only one "V" device will be worn on the medal or ribbon regardless of the number of times awarded. The below list has a few of Pararescue recipients but many are missing . In addition to the verified names on this site, we are trying to identify others. The below list is of verified awardees. If you click on their name, you will view a copy of the narrative of their award. If you know of any other PJs awarded the Bronze Star, contact me at historian@pjhistory.org |
Recipients name is followed by the date of the SAR mission and the location where it happened. Most names are hyperlinked to the citation for the award or a news article concerning the award. If the name is in green, it means that we do not yet have copies of the award narrative. If you have access to any of these narratives, please email copies to historian@pjhistory.org If you know of someone who should be listed here email me the narrative and any news articles concerning the mission.
