The resolution urges the United States Congress to pass H.R.9997, which proposes to name the community-based outpatient clinic of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in Toms River, New Jersey, the Leonard G. Bud Lomell, Jr. VA Clinic. This initiative honors Second Lieutenant Leonard G. Bud Lomell, Jr., a long-time resident of Toms River and a decorated World War II veteran who served with distinction during the D-Day invasion. Lomell's courageous actions during the war, including the destruction of enemy artillery at Pointe-du-Hoc, earned him several prestigious military awards, including the Distinguished Service Cross, Purple Heart, and Silver Star.

In addition to his military service, Lomell made significant contributions to his community after the war, establishing a successful law firm and participating in various civic and charitable organizations. The resolution highlights the importance of recognizing Lomell's legacy by naming the new outpatient clinic, which serves a large veteran population in the region, in his honor. The General Assembly of New Jersey plans to transmit copies of this resolution to key congressional leaders to advocate for the passage of H.R.9997.
