Read twice and referred to the Committee on Veterans' Affairs.
S. 3559 is a straightforward naming bill that designates the Department of Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient clinic in San Jose, California, as the "Corporal Patrick D. Tillman VA Clinic." The bill honors Pat Tillman, a San Jose native who left a lucrative NFL career with the Arizona Cardinals to serve as an Army Ranger after the September 11 attacks. Tillman was killed by friendly fire in Afghanistan on April 22, 2004, while providing cover for trapped soldiers, and was posthumously promoted to corporal and awarded the Silver Star and Purple Heart. The designation has no fiscal impact and simply renames the existing VA clinic to recognize Tillman's sacrifice and service.
