勋章与嘉奖
历史
Silver Star 创建于 1932 年，旨在取代早期的引文星章。在 World War I 期间，表现勇敢的士兵会获得一枚别在战役勋表上的小银星。1932 年，这枚星章被正式制成了一枚完整的奖章。Silver Star 颁发给美国军队中任何军种的成员，以表彰其在对抗敌人的战斗中展现出的英勇行为。它是仅次于 Medal of Honor 和各军种十字勋章的第三高英勇奖项。在 World War II、Korean War、Vietnam War 以及后来的冲突中，已颁发了数千枚 Silver Star。许多著名的士兵和飞行员因在战斗中的勇气而获得了 Silver Star。
