  Valor device - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Valor device, also known as V-device, "V" device, and Combat V, is an award of the United States military which is authorized by the military services as an attachment to certain awards and decorations.
The first Valor devices were authorized in 1944 as an attachment to the Bronze Star Medal.
Awards which are commonly bestowed for valor, such as the Medal of Honor and Silver Star are never awarded with the Valor device since valor is indicated by the award itself.

 Men of Valor - Xbox (XB) Reviews - The Armchair Empire
With a new team and new attitude, Men of Valor was made to show that the core group still has the same magic of bringing past wars to life.
The opening sequences of Men of Valor are eerily reminiscent of the Medal of Honor series, delivering long conversations and history lessons before the mission.
Men of Valor gives off a feeling of incompleteness and forces gamers toask “So this is what you’ve been doing all this time 2015?” Men of Valor does a great job delivering Vietnam history and delivering a believable story with plenty of atmosphere, but the bad outweighs the good by a long shot.

 Featuring Men of Valor Review at ActionTrip
The biggest difference is that Men of Valor is the first descendant of MoH: AA to be set in the Vietnam War.
So as far as Men of Valor is concerned, the game does a good job of letting the players experience all that the Vietnam War had to offer-from the short and intense guerilla skirmishes in the jungle to a more massive operations involving APCs, choppers and F-4 Phantoms dropping napalm on enemy positions.
Another possible reason why this was the case is that many of the missions are unbalanced in terms of their difficulty and the flow of the action.

 Vietnam Vet Attempts to Restore Soldiers' Valor
His soon-to-be-published book, "Stolen Valor: How the Vietnam Generation Was Robbed of Its Heroes and Its History," has been written with no less ambitious a goal than to completely revise America's perception of Vietnam veterans and the war they fought.
To all too many, the 53-year-old laments, the typical Vietnam veteran is a hair-trigger, ponytail-adorned pot smoker who, if he has a place he can call home, has a marginal job where he sulks and occasionally mumbles about an unjust war that took the lives of a disproportionate number of fls.
In exposing pretenders to battle valor, he guards the authenticity of combat at least as zealously as anyone who himself served in the middle of firefights.

However, this is a shame as Men Of Valor is the strongest of the Vietnam squad to be released this year, and comes with one of the highest pedigrees of the lot.
Men Of Valor is set in the jungle too, but it makes the environment work, the paddies fields and mud-clogged jungles of this game feel tense and claustrophobic.
In this company, Men Of Valor is a quality release, the graphics are slick and packed with explosive effects, the sound and music is easily on a par with EA's best scores and the action is solid and engaging throughout.

 3DAvenue.com - Gaming and tech, news and reviews
Men of Valor was one of the first games to be announced for the Vietnam theatre of war, but then turned out to be one of the last released in 2004.
Men of Valor is the closest to a World War II game in the Vietnam theatre of war that has been released thus far, and that means the focus is very much on the action of the game.
Men of Valor as mentioned at the top of the review is probably the best Vietnam game on the market but still has a few problems that it could use some attention if a sequel is made.

Metaphorically, the Man of Valor is represented by the olive tree "planted by streams of water".

 Men of Valor Review (Xbox)
Men of Valor is built upon a version of the clouted Unreal engine, which 2015 has tweaked to fit well with their own style of gameplay.
Since 2015’s goal with Men of Valor was to create a highly immersive environment that feels much larger than what a player sees on screen, there is a lot going on at all times, and in all directions.
Each of Men of Valor’s environments are very nicely detailed, and just about all of the objects, foliage, buildings and more can be made use of for some sort of benefit during the gameplay.

 Men Of Valor Microsoft Xbox Video Game Review by AceGamez   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Overall, Men of Valor's engine is solid for the most part but certainly could use some touching up on and unfortunately often feels like Medal of Honor in the jungle.
Playing with the sound blasting through stereo speakers, I was blown away by the impact of the awesome explosions, detailed and powerful gun effects, the water splashing as I ran through shallow lakes and all the ambient sounds throughout the maps.
Men of Valor is a good game that absolutely shines in some areas but lacks polish in others, which is unfortunately punishing to some modes and the overall experience.

The soon-to-be latest arrival to the Vietnam gaming party is Men of Valor, a first-person shooter developed for the PC and Xbox by Tulsa-based 2015.
You're not just one super-soldier quietly mowing down the enemy; your squadmates are constantly talking to you and each other, which sells the idea that you're in the thick of it.
Graphically, Men of Valor isn't going to compete with the likes of DOOM 3 or Half-Life 2 -- it's arguable that the graphics suffer from a bit of "console-itis" -- but they get the job done.
