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 Star is a special medal only awarded for actions of valor not just because you served.
