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.
HR 9997 designates the Department of Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient clinic in Toms River, New Jersey, as the "Leonard G. 'Bud' Lomell, Jr. VA Clinic." This ceremonial bill names the facility after Second Lieutenant Leonard G. Lomell, Jr., a D-Day hero who led a critical mission at Pointe-du-Hoc during World War II and later served his community in Toms River. The bill has no policy provisions - it simply changes the clinic's official name for recognition purposes. The naming honors Lomell's military service, post-war civic contributions, and connection to the Toms River area.
