Is a bronze star and a bronze service star the same thing?
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.
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".
