| - A service star is a miniature metal device worn by members of the seven uniformed services of the United States on medals and ribbons issued by the uniformed services to denote additional awards or periods of service. Depending on the circumstances, they may also be referred to as campaign stars or battle stars, depending on the award and the manner in which they are used. Service, campaign, and battle stars are bronze or silver in appearance, 3/16 inches in height, and worn with one point of the star pointing up on the suspension ribbons of medals and on service ribbons. A silver service star is worn in lieu of five bronze stars. Bronze and silver 3/16 inch stars are sometimes confused with individual decorations such as the Silver Star medal and the Bronze Star Medal. The silver 3/16 inch star is also similar to the silver 5/16 inch star, which is issued for subsequent awards of other individual decorations.
