“This bill is sponsored by Congressman Joe Heck from Nevada, and I thank him for introducing this piece of legislation. Master Chief Petty Officer Jesse Dean was born on August 11, 1947, and enlisted in the United States Navy when he was just 17 years old. Throughout his time in the Navy, Master Chief Petty Officer Dean served on numerous ships and on several overseas assignments and earned several awards and commendations. Master Chief Petty Officer Jesse Dean served our Nation both in and out of uniform. He served his fellow veterans and neighbors in Nevada. It is entirely fitting that with the passage of H.R. 3969, as amended, we name the VA community-based outpatient clinic in Laughlin, Nevada, the Master Chief Petty Officer Jesse Dean Department of Veterans Affairs Community-Based Outpatient Clinic. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.”
