AI Summary

This bill officially names the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) community-based outpatient clinic located in San Jose, California, as the "Corporal Patrick D. Tillman Department of Veterans Affairs Clinic" or the "Pat Tillman VA Clinic." This designation honors Corporal Patrick D. Tillman, a San Jose native who, after a successful career in professional football with the Arizona Cardinals, chose to suspend his NFL career to enlist in the U.S. Army in 2002, following the September 11th terrorist attacks. He served as an Army Ranger, deploying in support of Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom, and was tragically killed in action in Afghanistan in 2004 while attempting to provide cover for his fellow soldiers. The bill also stipulates that any existing references in U.S. laws, regulations, or documents to this specific VA clinic should now be understood to refer to its new name.
