Legislative Progress

- The clinic would be renamed the 'Rodney C. Hamilton Sr. VA Clinic' to honor a local Marine Corps veteran who served in the Korean War and received a Purple Heart.
- Mr. Hamilton was a leader in the Lafayette community and spent years working to get this specific clinic built so local veterans could get healthcare closer to home.
- Renaming a federal building is a way for the government to recognize individuals who made a significant impact on their community or the country.
