Why was I awarded a Bronze Star V in Vietnam when I was told that I would be getting a DSC or Silver Star V?

Because the Bronze Star V was the impact award and then would have to be upgraded to a Silver Star or DSC at a later date. By the way there is no V device available with a silver star. Medal submission are made for a specific medal. As it goes through the chain of command for approvals, it is reviewed and compared to the actions of others that are being recommended for awards. They will make adjustments to the level of award to provide a consistent level of award for similar actions. I've seen a Commendation Medal reduced all the way to a Letter of Commendation. It is very common for a nomination for a Medal of Honor to be dropped as far down as a Bronze Star.

In Vietnam, the Bronze Star was awarded for BOTH "Meritorious Achievement" and "Valor." If the medal was awarded for Valor it was designated to be accompanied by a brass/bronze metal "V" device. All women in the US military in Vietnam were either administrative personnel or medical nurses and they were not allowed near the front lines but operated in major base camps such as Quang Tri, Phu Bai, Da Nang, etc. They didn't operate at firebases, as a rule. US military women most assuredly were awarded Bronze Stars for Meritorious Achievements.
