Yes, thanks for sharing. My dad was awarded both the Bronze Star and Purple Heart for his service during the Philipines campaign. He was wounded in the ankle by a sniper just 3 days before the campaign was officially closed. Although I was only 3 years old when he came home, I do remember him showing us the scar on his right leg. I don't know if the Bronze Star had a V for Valor; all his official records were destroyed in the St. Louis fire. We got the above information from a copy of his Separation papers.

Thanks for bringing this up!
