No medal of honor, distinguished service medal, distinguished flying

be awarded or presented to any individual, or to the representative of
any individual, whose entire service subsequent to the time he
distinguished himself shall not in the opinion of the Commandant have

70A Stat. 624.)
Historical and Revision Notes
This section makes honorable service subsequent to the act for which
award is made, a condition precedent to granting the award. The Navy has
the same statutory condition (see title 34, U.S.C., 1946 ed., Sec. 362).
