Kansas Statutes Chapter 73. Soldiers, Sailors and Patriotic Emblems § 73-1242. Same; disallowance; form and design of medallion, medal and certificate

If the director of veteran services disallows any veteran's claim to a Vietnam war era medallion, medal and a certificate, a statement of the reason for the disallowance shall be filed with the application and notice of this disallowance shall be mailed to the applicant at the applicant's last known address. The director of the Kansas commission on veterans affairs office shall approve the form of the Vietnam war era medallion, medal and the certificate. It is the intent of the legislature to create statewide involvement in the design of these symbols in recognition of this historic endeavor. The director of the Kansas commission on veterans affairs office may solicit potential designs from elementary and secondary schools, veterans' groups, civic organizations or any other interested party, and may select the best design from among such solicited designs or may select another design.
