What is the Presidential Memorial Certificate (PMC) and how can I obtain one?
A PMC is an engraved paper certificate signed by the President of the United States, to honor the memory of honorably discharged deceased veterans. Each cemetery will automatically order a PMC for each veteran interred at the cemetery which will be forwarded to the last known address of next of kin. Families can request additional PMCs by going to www.cem.va.gov/cem/pmc.asp and completing and submitting VA Form 40-0207 (Application for Presidential Memorial Certificate).
