You can be awarded as many as you qualify for. The time factor limits how many you can actually be awarded though. All 3 time awardees fought in WW II, Korea and Vietnam.

Those of us who served in Panama 89, received our CIB's. A lot of the same people went to the Gulf for Desert Storm but was not authorized a star since it fell under the same qualifying period. Those of us who were still serving after 9-11 and deployed earned our stars because it was a new qualifying period.
