To rename the community-based outpatient clinic of the Department of Veterans Affairs in Butte, Montana, as the "Charlie Dowd VA Clinic".
HR 7154 would rename the Department of Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient clinic in Butte, Montana, as the "Charlie Dowd VA Clinic" to honor Charles A. Dowd, a Pearl Harbor survivor and decorated Navy veteran. The bill designates the clinic's new name officially and updates all federal references to the facility to reflect this change. It directly affects the clinic's official identity and records, with no new funding or policy changes. The renaming is purely commemorative, based on Dowd's service during WWII (including his actions at Pearl Harbor and seven Bronze Star medals) and his lifelong advocacy for veterans.
