Florida Delegation Pushes Efforts to Honor Bill Young
The Florida delegation is getting behind U.S. Rep. Jeff Millers, R-Fla., bill to rename the Bay Pines VA Medical Center in St. Petersburg after former U.S. Rep. Bill Young who passed away last week. Miller chairs the Veterans Affairs Committee.
U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., now the senior member of the Florida delegation, sponsored a resolution honoring Young.
Bill was an inspiration to many Floridians and a fierce advocate for members of our armed services and veterans alike, Ros-Lehtinen said on Tuesday. His determination to do right by these men and women is a shining example of what a public servant can accomplish for his constituents. His memory will forever be enshrined on a building occupied by those for whom he dedicated his life's mission. Floridas champion of active-duty servicemen and women and veterans deserves no less an honor.
