What does the Oak Leaf Cluster signify? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.80.241.225 (talk • contribs) 08:30, January 1, 2006 UTC.

A medal that features an Oak leaf generally means that person has been awarded the medal twice. (USMA2010 06:00, 22 June 2006 (UTC))

A Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster indicates a second award, a Silver Oak Leaf Cluster indicates that the medal has been awarded five times.
