Although a tail in motion isn't usually a positive sign, exceptions do exist. For instance, if your fluffball's tail is shooting straight up into the air while it's vibrating and shaking, she is probably feeling giddy about something. If your cat reacts this way upon seeing you, take it as a huge compliment.
Best Answer: The Bronze star is awarded for acts of valor. A bronze service star just denotes participation in military campaigns or multiple engagements in the same campaign. It's an addition to a service medal. You've seen men in uniform with the ribon medals on their left chest I assume. Those are service metals.
The acts of merit or acts of valor must be less than that required for the Legion of Merit but must nevertheless have been meritorious and accomplished with distinction. The Bronze Star Medal is awarded only to service members in combat zones who are receiving imminent danger pay.
