A research copy — for the controlling text, always check the official state or federal source. Not legal advice.

If a person who distinguishes himself dies before an award to which he is entitled is made, the award may be made and the medal, cross, or bar, or associated emblem or insignia may be presented, within five years from the date of the act or service justifying the award, to his representative as designated by the President.

(Aug. 10, 1956, ch. 1041, 70A Stat. 390, § 6250; renumbered § 8300, Pub. L. 115–232, div. A, title VIII, § 807(b)(13), Aug. 13, 2018, 132 Stat. 1836.)

The word “associated” is substituted for the word “other” to relate the medal or cross to its emblem or insignia.
