US Army Bronze Star With Case and Ribbon Bar and Pin

The US Army Bronze Star is a military decoration awarded for acts of heroism, merit, or meritorious service in a combat zone. This set includes the standard Bronze Star Medal, accompanying ribbon bar, and service pin, as well as a protective presentation case. The medal features a bronze star-shaped design with a 3/16 inch bronze star at the center and is suspended from a ribbon with red, white, and blue stripes. The ribbon bar allows for wear on the uniform in place of the full-sized medal, and the pin serves for informal or civilian use. The Bronze Star Medal was established by Executive Order in 1944 and is authorized for members of the United States Armed Forces. The case is designed for safe storage and display of the medal and accessories. This set is appropriate for collectors of original US military decorations and those interested in World War II through modern era memorabilia.
