Bronze star represents major campaigns. For example the EAME Ribbon was given to anyone who served in Europe. So if they participated in the Napples-Foggia Campaign, then they would have 1 bronze star. Other campaigns were: Northern France, Southern France, Rhineland, and Air Offensive, Europe. If the unit was involved in the amphibious landing at Salerno, then they would receive a Bronze Arrowhead. A good source that was used to look up what campaign credit was earned by each unit is the Dept. of Army Pamplet 672-1 "UNIT CITATION AND CAMPAIGN PARTICIPATION CREDIT REGISTER" dated July 1961 (which is at least 300 pages thick). This document was used to determine who could be credited for campaign medals for WW2 and Korea. Custermen

What do 2 small gold stars on both the Bronze Star and the Asiatic -Pacific campaign ribbons mean All were awarded during World War 2?
They represent combat engagements or additional awards of a medal. The specifics vary a bit from award to award and service to service. My best guess would be that the stars on the Bronze Star represent combat engagements and that the two on the campaign ribbon represents the second and third award. If they are truly gold, they could actually represent ten awards, but that is doubtful.

What is the difference between the bronze star service medal in World War 2 and a Bronze Star?
The Bronze Star Medal could be awarded for either "meritorious service" or for "valor". If the award was for valor, the Medal was awarded with a bronze "V device" to be worn on the ribbon of the Medal. After the war was over the Army decided that every WWII veteran was entitled to the Bronze Star Medal, but the award was for "meritorious service", not "valor", so no "V device".
Is it true that all World War 2 recipeints of the combat infantrymans badge were awarded the bronze star?
Yes. Recipients of the CIB were decided to be eligible for a Bronze Star Medal a couple of years after the war. By that time most of the men were discharged from the service, and may never have been aware of this decision, or never bothered to apply for it. The Bronze Star could be awarded for valor, or for "meritorious service". If the award was for valor the Medal came with bronze "V devices", shaped like the letter "V" to be worn on the ribbons for the medal - a little one for the chest ribbon and a larger one for the ribbon of the actual medal. The Bronze Stars given to all recipients of the Combat Infantryman's Badge were for "meritorious service", so, no "V devices".

The ribbon is awarded to military personnel involved in WWII in the European Theater. The four bronze stars mean the person participated in four campaigns during that war.

It means the soldier awarded the bronze arrowhead took part in an assault on enemy held territory - either an amphibious landing from the sea if he was a ground-pounder, or an airborne combat drop if he was a paratrooper. These are worn on the ribbon for the EAME (Europe Africa Middle East) or Pacific Theater Medals.
