Congress would rename the Department of Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient clinic in San Jose, California, as the "Corporal Patrick D. Tillman VA Clinic" (also usable as "Pat Tillman VA Clinic"). The bill honors Pat Tillman, a San Jose native and NFL player who left a professional football career in 2002 to join the U.S. Army, deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, and was killed in Afghanistan in 2004; he was posthumously promoted to corporal and awarded the Silver Star and Purple Heart. Once enacted, any law, regulation, map, document, or other federal record referring to the clinic must use the new name. The bill does not change clinic services, funding, staffing, or veterans' eligibility for care.
Congressional Summary
