An Act
To name the Department of Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient
clinic in Youngstown, Ohio, as the ``Carl Nunziato 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 makes the following findings:
(1) Carl Nunziato graduated from Youngstown State University
ROTC as the Distinguished Military Graduate in 1961 and
commissioned into the U.S. Army.
(2) While serving, Major (ret.) Nunziato was stationed in
Thailand during the Laotian Crisis. Major Nunziato later served two
voluntary tours of combat duty in Vietnam.
(3) On his second tour, then-Captain Nunziato was severely
injured, losing both legs from a mortar attack while protecting a
small Vietnamese village in Soui Da.
(4) Major Nunziato spent two years at Walter Reed Military
Hospital recovering from his wounds. He then returned home to
Northeastern Ohio where he enrolled in Case Western University Law
School earning a degree in 1971. Following retirement from active
duty, Major Nunziato continuously championed the rights of veterans
and the disabled, while establishing a distinguished career in
banking and finance.
(5) Due to Major Nunziato's tireless efforts, a Department of
Veterans Affairs outpatient clinic was established in Youngstown.
Additionally, his exhaustive work throughout Mahoning County has
brought curb cuts, wheel chair ramps and other accessibility
measures to county public buildings, universities and courthouses,
affording more independence to local disabled population. These
efforts were borne from witnessing fellow disabled veterans denied
justice and equality, after having fought and sacrificed for those
same principles.

OUTPATIENT CLINIC, YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO.

Any reference to such clinic in any law, regulation, map, document,
