A bill to desginate the community-based outpatient clinic of the Department of Veterans Affairs in San Jose, California, as the "Corporal Patrick D. Tillman VA Clinic".

This legislative proposal seeks to officially rename the Department of Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient clinic located in San Jose, California. Upon enactment, the facility would be known as the Corporal Patrick D. Tillman VA Clinic , honoring a distinguished individual from the local community. This designation aims to permanently recognize Tillman's service and sacrifice. The bill highlights Patrick D. Tillman's background, noting he was born in San Jose and had a successful football career, including playing for Arizona State University and the NFL's Arizona Cardinals. Following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Tillman notably suspended his professional football career to enlist in the United States Army alongside his brother. He served as an Army Ranger in both Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom, ultimately being killed by gunfire in Afghanistan in 2004 and posthumously awarded the Silver Star and Purple Heart.
