Sec. 6247. Additional awards

    Not more than one medal of honor, Navy cross, distinguished-service 
medal, silver star medal, distinguished flying cross, or Navy and Marine 
Corps Medal may be awarded to a person. However, for each succeeding act

cross, the President may award a suitable bar, emblem, or insignia to be 
worn with the decoration and corresponding rosette or other device.

    The word ``awarded'' is substituted for the word ``issued'' for 
uniformity. The words ``that would otherwise justify'' are substituted 
for the words ``sufficient to justify'' for clarity. The word 
``service'' is substituted for the word ``achievement'' for uniformity. 
The words ``as he shall direct'' are omitted as surplusage.
