“I include in the Record letters from The American Legion, Department of Texas; from the DAV, Disabled American Veterans, Department of Texas; and the VFW, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, in support of Mr. Conaway's bill to name the clinic in Texas after these gentlemen. The American Legion, Department of Texas, Austin, TX, May 30, 2019. Chairman Mark Takano, House Committee on Veterans' Affairs, Washington, DC. Ranking Member Phil Roe, House Committee on Veterans' Affairs, Washington, DC. Dear Chairman Takano and Ranking Member Roe: On the behalf of The American Legion, Department of Texas, I am honored to extend my support to the efforts of U.S. Representative K. Michael Conaway and the Members of Congress from Texas to rename the Department of Veterans Affairs outpatient clinic in Odessa, Texas to the ``Wilson and Young Medal of Honor VA Clinic''. As Medal of Honor recipients raised in Odessa, it is fitting that Alfred ``Mac'' Wilson and Marvin ``Rex'' Young be memorialized by naming a facility that serves their brothers and sisters in arms in their time of need. It is a testament to their bravery and self-sacrifice. May it also be a reminder for us all to live up to their examples. ``For God and Country'', Lloyd Buckmaster, State Commander. Attest: William West, State Adjutant. ____ DAV, Department of Texas, Lufkin, TX, April 24, 2019. Chairman Mark Takano, House Committee on Veterans' Affairs, Washington, DC.…”
