deux croix d'argent


Explanation:
Si j'en crois cette explication:
https://dmna.ny.gov/awards/csc.html
For each succeeding award a medal device (cross) will be attached to the suspension ribbon and/or ribbon bar. These devices shall be:

Silver to represent one additional award and

Gold to represent five additional awards.


Donc pour deux récompense son a deux crois d'argent et quand on atteint 5 on a une croix d'or

J'éviterais le terme d'étoile parce qu'il existe une décoration proche, la conspicuous service star qui elle a la forme d'étoile (New York State shield device):
