Memorials, Congress - Urges Congress to rename Dogwood Lane on federal property at Mountain Home VA the"Congressman Phil Roe Boulevard." -

SJR 860 is a Tennessee Senate resolution urging U.S. Congress to rename Dogwood Lane at the Mountain Home VA medical center to "Congressman Phil Roe Boulevard." It honors former Tennessee Congressman Phil Roe, who chaired the House Committee on Veteran Affairs and championed key veterans' legislation like the Forever GI Bill and the VA Accountability Act. The resolution does not rename the road itself but formally requests Tennessee's congressional delegation to introduce federal legislation for the change, as the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs requires congressional authorization for such designations. The Tennessee General Assembly passed this resolution unanimously (31-0) to recognize Roe's service to veterans.
