Why is mark Mcglone not list as a Bronze star recipient?

Answer 1

There is no overall master list of recipients. Many thousands were awarded during the war. The Bronze Star could be awarded for valor, in which case it came with a small brass "V device" to be worn on the ribbon, or, for "meritorious service" (which need not even be combat related) in which case it came with no "V device". After the war the Army decided that any man who was entitled to wear the Combat Infantryman's Badge was also entitled to a Bronze Star. It was further decided that this mass post-war awarding of the Bronze Start was for "meritorious service", so, no "V device". Many units such as divisions and regiments published their own histories after the war, and these usually include a list of all the men who earned decorations. Such databases and lists as exist online today are mere compilations of names submitted by Bronze Star recipients or their families, and are in no way a complete listing.
