(Butte) The Senate today unanimously passed bipartisan legislation spearheaded by the Montana Congressional delegation to name the Butte VA Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) in honor of Montana World War II hero Charlie Dowd.
Dowd was Montana’s last living Pearl Harbor survivor who passed in March 2023. The bill now moves to the U.S. House of Representatives for consideration.
The Montana delegation sent a letter to Senate and House leadership last month, urging support of their legislation to rename the Butte VA clinic in Dowd’s name
