Silver Star Lapel

Established
by Congress on July 9th, 1918. For each Citation received for gallantry in
action not sufficient to warrant the Medal of Honor or the
Distinguished Service Cross, a Silver Star was issued. The
Silver Star is 3/16-inch in diameter was authorized for
wear on the suspension and service ribbons of appropriate
service medals (World War I Victory Medal). This award was
called the 'Citation Star', on August 8th, 1932. This
decoration was revised by Congress and redesigned to its
present form.
