This section of the Korean War Educator lists Americans who received the Bronze Star for Gallantry in Action during the Korean War. It is not a definitive list of all the heroic Americans who deserved and received this distinguished award in Korea. This list was compiled by searching the internet for names and citations and relying on printed resources and submissions to the KWE. If any of our readers have the citations to go along with the names on the list below, or a recipient we haven't listed, please contact us so we can add it.
To view non-American recipients, visit Bronze Star (Foreign).
To view post-war recipients, visit DMZ Bronze Star.

To understand the importance of KWE's lists, please read this message to the KWE from Paul B. Brown, Modern Military Records, Textual Archives Services Division, National Archives and Records Administration, College Park, Maryland:
"Although among our holdings can be found 'award case files' for soldiers of the U.S. Eighth Army who were recommended for various medals, we do not have a comprehensive list of citations for personnel who received [star medals] during the Korean War."
