# Plain Language Summary: Corporal Patrick D. Tillman VA Clinic Naming Bill

This bill does one straightforward thing: it officially names a Veterans Affairs clinic in San Jose, California after Corporal Patrick D. Tillman. The clinic is a community-based outpatient facility, meaning it's a local VA health center where veterans can receive medical care without having to go to a large hospital.

Patrick Tillman was an NFL player who left professional football to serve in the U.S. Army after the September 11 attacks. He was killed in combat in Afghanistan in 2004. By naming this clinic after him, Congress is honoring his memory and his service to the country. The clinic will now officially be called the "Corporal Patrick D. Tillman VA Clinic."

This change doesn't affect how the clinic operates or what services it provides to veterans. It's purely a naming honor. Veterans in the San Jose area who use this clinic will see the new name, and it serves as a tribute to Tillman's sacrifice. For most people, this bill has no direct impact on their daily lives—it's a symbolic gesture recognizing a fallen soldier's legacy at a facility dedicated to serving those who served in the military.
