Designate the Department of Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient 
       clinic in Newark, Ohio, as the Daniel L. Kinnard VA Clinic.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. FINDINGS.
    Congress finds the following:
        (1) Daniel L. Kinnard was born on October 21, 1949, in Mount 
    Vernon, Ohio.
        (2) While residing in Newark, Ohio, Daniel L. Kinnard enlisted 
    in the Army at Fort Hayes, Ohio, on November 14, 1966, and served 
    as a Specialist Fourth Class in the 101st Airborne Division.
        (3) Specialist Kinnard was awarded the National Defense Service 
    Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, Vietnam Campaign Medal, Parachutist 
    Badge, Sharpshooter Badge with Rifle Bar, Bronze Star for Valor, 
    Purple Heart, Good Conduct Medal, and the Combat Medical Badge.
        (4) Specialist Kinnard's citation for the Bronze Star said, 
    ``For heroism in combat against a hostile force in the Republic of 
    Vietnam on 17 February 1968. Specialist Four Kinnard distinguished 
    himself while attached as a medic on a combat operation near Quang 
    Tri, Republic of Vietnam. The point platoon made contact with enemy 
    positions in a hedgerow and two of the point men were seriously 
    wounded. Without hesitation, Specialist Kinnard rushed through the 
    heavy volume of enemy fire to reach the wounded men. With complete 
    disregard for his own personal safety, Specialist Kinnard remained 
    exposed to enemy fire while he treated the wounded men. Once he 
    administered first aid to the wounded, Specialist Kinnard organized 
    their evacuation under fire. His personal bravery and devotion to 
    duty were in keeping with the highest traditions of the military 
    service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and United 
    States Army.''.
        (5) Specialist Kinnard was killed in action on March 9, 1968, 
    while rendering aid to his fellow paratroopers.
