The word inscribed on the medal and the names on its back
What the document says“In base, the word "SACRIFICE" is inscribed. In dexter base, three oak leaves are placed, symbolizing the national tree of the U.S., representing strength, resilience, and honoring the families and widows of the fallen. The reverse of the medal is sandblasted and bears an engraving of the names of the fallen heroes.”
Subsection (d) states what the medal carries: the word SACRIFICE at the foot of the design, three oak leaves, and, on the reverse, an engraving of the names of the fallen. The meanings given to the oak leaves are the statute's own words, quoted here rather than stated in the site's voice.
What the document actually says“In base, the word "SACRIFICE" is inscribed. In dexter base, three oak leaves are placed, symbolizing the national tree of the U.S., representing strength, resilience, and honoring the families and widows of the fallen. The reverse of the medal is sandblasted and bears an engraving of the names of the fallen heroes.”
The word SACRIFICE is at the foot of the medal. Three oak leaves sit near it. The back of the medal is rough, and the names of the dead are cut into it.
The law says the oak leaves stand for the national tree. It says they stand for strength and for the families left behind. Those are the law's words, not this site's.
