Had to be awarded by the U.S. Army...the Navy does not award E6s Bronze Stars...Which I think is BS!
CTM3 O'Bryant's Bronze Star was awarded posthumously.
The Navy DOES award E-6's Bronze Stars.
Any award of and MSM or higher (which would include a BSM) recommended or awarded by any other branch to a Sailor requires CNO concurrence prior to presentation of the award. So I would say THAT qualifies as a Navy award.
Big Navy policy for awarding the BS reads:
The Navy requires meritorious service in a combat zone of the level equivalent to the Navy Meritorious Service Medal (MM) AND personal exposure to hostile action. The Director Navy Staff signed a memo 2 March 2007 stating “Navy's interpretation of the warfighting intent of the Bronze Star has always included a requirement for personal exposure to hostile action. However, in today's complex combat environment, our Awards must also give credit to those who are exposed to significant risk of hostile action.”
As of 11 April 2007, the Navy had awarded 1,922 Bronze Star Medals since 9/11/2001. However, only 96 were presented to Sailors below the paygrade of E-7.
"only 96 were presented to Sailors below the paygrade of E-7."
The Navy does not award it's people like the Army and the USAF. It's not uncommon to see a E-6 or E-5 in the USA/USAF with a MSM. It is VERY rare to see anyone below a MCPO or CDR wearing a MSM in the Navy.
