Summary
This bill seeks to rename the Department of Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient clinic located in San Jose, California, to the "Corporal Patrick D. Tillman VA Clinic" . The renaming serves to honor Corporal Patrick D. Tillman, a native of San Jose, for his distinguished service and ultimate sacrifice. Tillman, a former NFL player with the Arizona Cardinals, famously suspended his professional career to enlist in the U.S. Army following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. He served with the 75th Ranger Regiment, deploying to both Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. Corporal Tillman was tragically killed in Afghanistan in 2004 while providing cover for his fellow soldiers, an act for which he was posthumously awarded the Silver Star and Purple Heart.
