“I have no further speakers. I will just say that I take note that Senator Cleland had much to do with the establishment of vet centers. I know from the experience of my own veterans how much vet centers make a difference in their lives. Mr. Speaker, I include in the Record letters of support for S. 3369 from The American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, and Disabled American Veterans, as well as the Georgia delegation. The American Legion, Department of Georgia, Stockbridge, GA, May 16, 2022. Representative Nikema Williams, House of Representatives, Washington, DC. Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock, U.S. Senate, Washington, DC. Dear Representative Williams and Senator Warnock: The American Legion Department of Georgia is in full support of H.R. 6244 and S. 3369: the Max Cleland VA Medical Center Act. We respectfully implore and sincerely request that the U.S. Congress rename the Atlanta Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center as: ``The Joseph Maxwell Cleland Atlanta Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center.'' Senator Cleland's distinguished service and noble legacy are still remembered by his fellow Georgians, the nation, and the countless veterans whose lives were greatly improved as a result of his commitment to better healthcare and veterans' services. Renaming the Atlanta VA Medical Center is but a fraction of the tremendous gratitude that our U.S. Congress can do to honor a true champion of veteran affairs. For God and Country. . .…”
