A Bronze Service Star was a small bronze star device that was added to a Campaign Medal to indicate 5 campaigns.
Bronze Star Medal was created on 1944-02-04.
The oak leaf cluster indicates that the decoration has been awarded a second time. Thus a bronze star with oak leaf cluster means the person won two bronze stars. Michael Montagne
The Bronze star is awarded for acts of valor A bronze service star just denotes participation in military campaigns or multiple engagements in the same campaign. It's an addition to a service medal. You've seen men in uniform with the ribon medals on their left chest I assume. Those are service metals. The bronze service star would be placed on one of those ribbons if they went to that campaign more than once. The Bronze Star is a special medal only awarded for actions of valor not just because you served.
Because of the large number of the Bronze Star Medal awarded, no single list exists
