The Brazilain Expeditionary Force won several bravery medals from US (remembering that it was attached to the 5th US Army). One Distinguished Service Cross, a. 30 Silver Stars and a. 180 Bronze Stars were awarded to Brazilian soldiers.

The 1st Fighter Group personnel received 17 Distinguished Flying Cross (US), 127 Air Medals and five Bronze Stars. In addition this unit was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation (US).
