To designate the clinic of the Department of Veterans Affairs in Gallup, New Mexico, as the Hiroshi "Hershey" Miyamura VA Clinic.
HR 1590 designates the Department of Veterans Affairs clinic in Gallup, New Mexico (located at 2075 South NM Highway 602) as the "Hiroshi Hershey Miyamura VA Clinic." This bill honors Hiroshi Hershey Miyamura, a Medal of Honor recipient who served in the 442nd Infantry Regiment during WWII and later in the Korean War. The designation updates all official U.S. references to the clinic to include his name, recognizing his military service and community contributions. The bill has no funding or policy changes; it solely changes the clinic's official name.
