Iraqi Campaign Medal Service Stars

[JMC2543]

I just saw an article about bronze stars for the Iraq Campaign Medal. I was deployed from 08/04 to 03/05 (Transition of Iraq) and then from 08/06 to 03/07 (national resolution). I chose to keep the GWOTEM for my first deployment, and got the ICM for the second. My question is as far as these bronze stars that they have added in. Would I wear 1 for my second deployment or two for each, even though I kept my GWOTEM? I ask this because I am going to be wearing my uniform at my wedding and want it to be 100% correct.

I believe all Marines who recieved the GWOTEM also recieved the ICM recently. I had a GySgt who was there in 2003 and chose the GWOTEM, but when the stars message came out, they added an ICM to his awards as well, even thought he was only deployed once. I would wear both stars if I were you- you rate them.
