The Bronze Star Medal was an award usually given for bravery in war. It was also given out for other reasons and during WW2 a few were awarded to civilians who helped support the troops. After 1947, the Army decided to award a BSM to every infantryman who had fought in combat and was awarded the Combat Infantryman's Badge. The BSM was a bronze star that hung from a ribbon mostly Red in color with Blue stripe down the center and White on the outside edge.The Bronze Star Device was a star that attached to a Campaign Medal to designate a 2nd or 3rd, etc. award of the Campaign Medal. A soldier was credited with a Campaign Medal for each campaign, such as Normandy, Ardennes, Anzio-Rome. So if a soldier served in 3 campaigns, he would be issued one Campaign Medal for the area of the war he served in and two Bronze Stars he could attach to the ribbon of the Campaign Medal.
I have never heard of a Distinguished Conduct Star Medal. During WW2, the Army issued these medals (and many other possibilities) Good Conduct Medal - given for 12 months good conduct Distinguished Service Medal Distinguished Service Cross The only medals with "star" in the name were: Silver Star Medal Bronze Star Medal Hope that helps. Now you can search for them on internet and see which one you have.

While the Silver Star itself was created in 1932, the Citation Star, created in 1918, was its predecessor. Veterans of World War I were eligible to convert the Citation Star, if awarded, to the Silver Star. I know because my grandfather converted his Citation Star for Gallantry in Action to the Silver Star. However, the U.S. government kept very poor official records on this award and you may have trouble finding your WWI veteran's name on a list of recipients.
I can not find any list of WW2 bronze star reference. It may be possible to request his service record from the US Department of Defence. The form you would need to ask for is the DD-214which have been used since 1941.

yes, I believe that to still be in effect.................. Yes, definitely. My father, who served as a combat medic with the 25th infantry in WW2 (and received a combat medic badge) was awarded a bronze star just a few years ago (around 2007).
