Certificate of Appreciation
This Certificate of Appreciation is a heartfelt way to thank your Memorial Rifle Squad members for their volunteer hours in providing honors services to our US veterans.  This certificate is sure to become a proudly displayed memento.


Steps to create Certificates for your Squad Members:

  1. Contact VA Volunteer Services to obtain your members a) years of service and b) hours of volunteering.  Send an email to VHAMINVOL@va.gov to obtain the Squad Members’ information.
  2. Your computer must have Microsoft Word installed to edit the downloaded Word Certificate file. 
  3. Click the link below to download the Certificate Word file to your DOWNLOAD folder. 
  4. Open the file and click on the Enable Editing button at the top. 
  5. Update the YELLOW fields with your members’ information.  The YELLOW fields will print normally, no yellow.  Fields that are NOT YELLOW cannot be altered.
  6. For a hard copy of the certificate, you need a printer connected to your computer.  If you do not have a printer, transfer the edited Word file to an external device (e.g., a Jump Drive) and take it to a print service.  
  7. Contact the MRS Commander to obtain blank paper with a gold border for the certificates and frames.  First, print a TEST copy of the certificate on standard printer paper to verify accuracy and ensure the certificate fits within the paper gold borders.
  8. Print the certificate on border paper, obtain two signatures at the bottom, and place the certificate in the frame.
