Welcome to the Enhanced Research Library

  

U.S. Marine Corps
 Awards of the Silver Star

for 
Conspicuous Gallantry in Action 
During the

Vietnam War

We have identified a total of 2,418 U.S. Marine Corps recipients of the Silver Star during the Vietnam War. We believe that this index of Vietnam War recipients is 90% complete, though we continue to sort through records to identify late awards, as well as to compile addition information on the recipients (Rank/Unit/etc.) and their citations. The pages below provide the name, rank, date of action, and unit of the nearly 2,500 Marine Corps awards we have identified.

A special thanks is due to William L. Myers, author of Honor the Warrior, for sharing his own extensive research into USMC Silver Star Awards, and to the Marine Corps History Division.
