(Pub. L. 109304, § 8(b), Oct. 6, 2006, 120 Stat. 1585; Pub. L. 109163, div. C, title XXXV, § 3510, Jan. 6, 2006, 119 Stat. 3557; Pub. L. 110181, div. C, title XXXV, § 3523(a)(5)(A), (b), Jan. 28, 2008, 122 Stat. 599, 600.)

Historical and Revision Notes RevisedSectionSource (U.S. Code)Source (Statutes at Large) 5190746 App.:2004(c).Pub. L. 100324, § 5(c), May 30, 1988, 102 Stat. 577. The Secretarys authority to provide decorations and medals at cost, or to authorize the sale of decorations and medals at reasonable prices, is restated to apply only to replacement awards because Congress probably did not intend that recipients being honored would pay for their decorations and medals.
