HR 7511 United States House · 119th Congress

Iowa National Guard Heroes Commemoration Act

This bill renames two existing Department of Veterans Affairs clinics in Iowa to honor fallen Iowa National Guard members. The Des Moines VA clinic (1211 East Army Post Road) will be named the "Staff Sergeant Edgar Torres-Tovar VA Clinic," and the Marshalltown VA clinic (201 East Merle Hibbs Boulevard) will be named the "Staff Sergeant William Nathaniel Howard VA Clinic." The bill changes official references in all federal documents to these new names after enactment. It does not create new policies or services, only formally commemorates these service members' legacies through facility naming.
