What campaign does the bronze star award have to do with?
The Bronze Star was a device added to a campaign medal for a second award of the campaign medal.If a soldier served in battles in France and Germany, he may have been in 3 campaigns. He would have been issued the campaign medal for that theater which is called the European - African - Middle Eastern Campaign Medal. The EAME Campaign medal was awarded for any campaigns in North Africa, Italy, Germany, France, etc. For the 1st Campaign he would received the ribbon (they usually did not give out the medal during the war). For the second and third campaign he would receive 1 Bronze Star Device for each campaign. This small star was attached to the ribbon. It was also attached to the ribbon of the Medal itself.There were other Campaign medals for the Pacific. The same would apply for these.This Device should not be confused with the Bronze Star Medal. This medal was in the shape of a star and made of Bronze. It was awarded for bravery in combat but it was also given out for other accomplishments. In 1947, the rules were changed to award the Bronze Star Medal to any infantryman who had earned the Combat Infantryman's Badge---signifying he had been in combat.

What was the oak leaf medal giving for?
The Oak Leaf Cluster is not a medal. It is a small pin in the shape of an oak leaf that is issued for the 2nd (and 3rd and 4th) time you receive a medal. If you earned a Purple Heart Medal for being wounded, then the second time you would be issued "an oak leaf to the Purple Heart Medal". Campaign Medals were issued for service in a region for a specific time. Then if you continued serving and were in another campaign, you would receive a 2nd Oak Leaf to the Campaign Medal. Thus the Normandy landing was one campaign. Then if you fought into Germany there was one for that.
Can you receive a medal if you get reprimanded?

Is the World War 2 American Theater Ribbon the same as the American Campaign Medal?
On my grandfather's separation papers, Block 33, it is listed as the "American Theatre Medal", and on his uniform is the American Campaign Medal ribbon in a picture. He has only two other medals, Good Conduct and Victory. I'm sure he rated the National Defense, and it was backdated when finally approved, which usually happens - even now. Hope this helps!
