The purpose of this legislation is to honor two fallen soldiers from Iowa by naming Department of Veterans Affairs clinics after them. Specifically, it designates the VA clinic in Des Moines as the "Staff Sergeant Edgar Torres-Tovar VA Clinic" and the community-based outpatient clinic in Marshalltown as the "Staff Sergeant William Nathaniel Howard VA Clinic." This act aims to recognize their service and sacrifice while serving in the U.S. Army. Key provisions of the legislation include the official naming of the two clinics.
