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".


Can a Silver Star be awarded with a 'V' as in 'received a Silver Star with V'?

No, a Silver Star is only awarded under such cicumstances that "valor" is apparaent, thus no V insignia is added, however the Bronze Star can be awarded with or without a V.
