Bill > HR6004

This bill authorizes the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to construct a new hospital in the Rio Grande Valley sector of Texas, subject to the availability of advance appropriations. The hospital will be named the "Sgt. Alfredo 'Freddy' Gonzalez Memorial Veterans' Hospital" in honor of Sergeant Gonzalez, and any future references to this facility in official documents, records, maps, or other government materials will use this official name. The legislation provides the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) with the legal permission to build this new medical facility, which will serve veterans in the Rio Grande Valley region of Texas. By specifically naming the hospital after Sgt. Gonzalez, the bill also appears to be honoring the service and sacrifice of a local veteran, though no specific details about Sergeant Gonzalez are provided in the text.
