Bill > S3559

This bill, titled "A bill to designate the community-based outpatient clinic of the Department of Veterans Affairs in San Jose, California, as the 'Corporal Patrick D. Tillman VA Clinic'," proposes to officially rename the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) community-based outpatient clinic located in San Jose, California. The bill includes findings that detail the life and sacrifice of Corporal Patrick Daniel Tillman, a San Jose native who, after a successful career in professional football with the National Football League (NFL), chose to enlist in the United States Army in 2002 following the September 11th terrorist attacks. He served as an Army Ranger, deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan, and was tragically killed in action in Afghanistan in 2004, posthumously receiving the Silver Star and Purple Heart medals. The bill's core provision is to ensure that the San Jose VA clinic will henceforth be known as the "Corporal Patrick D. Tillman Department of Veterans Affairs Clinic" or the "Corporal Patrick D. Tillman VA Clinic," and that any existing references to the clinic in official documents will be updated to reflect this new designation.
