    WWII Ground Combat Infantrymen Eligible for Bronze Star Medal

    Posted at 03:26 PM on Monday, August 25, 2008 by post1121

    "Infantrymen who served in ground combat during World
    War II between December 7, 1941 and September 2, 1945, are eligible to
    apply for a Bronze Star Medal (BSM), according to the U.S. Army Human
    Resources Command. Approval is virtually guaranteed for those recipients
    of the Combat Infantryman's Badge (CIB) or the Combat Medic's Badge
    (CMB). Army regulations that govern this award may be found in AR
    600-8-22, Military Awards.

    Next of kin may apply for the posthumous award(s). If the veteran has
    previously received a BSM during combat for a specific act of bravery,
    he or his next of kin is still eligible to apply for a BSM."
