If Dennis Guthrie was a lawyer in Vietnam why was he awarded 2 bronze stars?
During the Viet War, the BS (Bronze Star) COULD be awarded for Meritorious Achievement. Therefore, you need (when ever confronted with this situation) to ask or see (or verify) if the medal was for "Valor" or "Meritorious" reasons. If it was for Valor, then the medal (and the orders will state it) will come with a separate bronze (or brass) letter "V" called the "V" device. The "V" device is attached to the cloth portion of the medal, or attached to the ribbon.
