What the document says

“As a decorated war hero, model citizen, and dedicated husband and father, Second Lieutenant Lomell is exceedingly deserving of the posthumous honor”

To name the Department of Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient clinic in Toms River, New Jersey, the Leonard G. 'Bud' Lomell, VA Clinic, and for other purposes, Sec. 1

The last of the section's fifteen findings, and the one that states its conclusion. The finding runs on to say what the honor is: having the new Toms River clinic of the Department of Veterans Affairs named for him. The quotation stops short of that clause because the printer broke a word across a line there. The word posthumous is the section's own.

What the document actually says

“As a decorated war hero, model citizen, and dedicated husband and father, Second Lieutenant Lomell is exceedingly deserving of the posthumous honor”

To name the Department of Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient clinic in Toms River, New Jersey, the Leonard G. 'Bud' Lomell, VA Clinic, and for other purposes, Sec. 1
That sentence, in plain words

Congress says this man earned the honor. He was a war hero. He was a good neighbor. He was a good husband and father.

What this is about

The honor is having the new clinic named for him. He is not alive to see it. The law calls that a posthumous honor.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
