Sec. 112. Presidential memorial certificate program

    (a) At the request of the President the Secretary may conduct a

honorable conditions, by preparing and sending to eligible recipients a 
certificate bearing the signature of the President and expressing the 
country's grateful recognition of the veteran's service in the Armed 
Forces. The award of a certificate to one eligible recipient will not 
preclude authorization of another certificate if a request is received 
from some other eligible recipient.

the next of kin, a relative or friend upon request, or an authorized 
service representative acting on behalf of such relative or friend.
