Sec. 1041. Replacement of certificate of discharge

    If satisfactory proof is presented that a person who has discharged 
honorably or under honorable conditions has lost his certificate of 
discharge from an armed force or that it was destroyed without his 
procurement or connivance, the Secretary concerned may give that person, 
or his surviving spouse, a certificate of that discharge, indelibly 
marked to show that it is a certificate in place of the lost or 
destroyed certificate. A certificate given under this section may not be 
accepted as a voucher for the payment of a claim against the United 
States for pay, bounty, or other allowance, or as evidence in any other 
case.
