trying to find the history of WWII medals and attached devices.?

I am trying to find sites on the web that describe each medal, what it was issued for and what the attached devices, such as the bronze stars, bronze arrow head and so forth, mean. Is there an order that they should be worn in? My primary focus is on the European theater of operations and specifically the 101st Airborne from Normandy on.

This site has medals (you can drill down for their history) and also will list them by correct order.

The US Army's site, www.army.gov, may be of some help.
