Renaming VA Clinic for Pat Tillman | Oakland News

A historic step forward: The VA clinic in South San Jose is set to be renamed in honor of Pat Tillman, the San Jose native who gave up his NFL career to serve in the Army after 9/11. Killed by friendly fire in Afghanistan in 2004, Tillman’s legacy of sacrifice was cemented with the Silver Star and Purple Heart. Now, with bipartisan support from California’s entire congressional delegation and companion legislation already in the Senate, this renaming honors his enduring impact and ensures his story continues to inspire veterans and communities across the nation.
