To name the Department of Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient clinic in Toms River, New Jersey, the Leonard G. 'Bud' Lomell, Jr. VA Clinic, and for other purposes.
This bill names the Department of Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient clinic in Toms River, New Jersey, after Leonard G. "Bud" Lomell, Jr., a decorated World War II hero who later became a prominent Toms River resident and attorney. Second Lieutenant Lomell was a Ranger who participated in the D-Day invasion at Pointe-du-Hoc on June 6, 1944, and is credited with destroying German artillery pieces that could have devastated the invasion, an action that earned him the Distinguished Service Cross, Silver Star, and Purple Heart. After the war, Lomell settled in Toms River, attended law school on the G.I. Bill, established a major law firm, and became active in civic and charitable organizations. The bill simply designates the new state-of-the-art VA outpatient clinic, which will serve the region's veteran population at the corner of Hooper and Caudina Avenues, with his name. The legislation involves no new funding or special timelines beyond requiring the name change to take effect upon enactment.
