<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If you receive the BSM for merit you wear it plain. If it is a hero badge you wear it with a &#39;V&quot; device on it. If you had one of each I guess you would add an oakleaf cluster for second award. Then just tell folks one was for not shooting the CO and the other was for saving his life during an ambush.

The Ribbon represents one award. The Oak Leaf represents multiple awards.
