The legislation renames the community-based outpatient clinic of the Department of Veterans Affairs in Pueblo as the ``PFC James Dunn VA Clinic” to honor the legacy of the late James Dunn, a decorated World War II Veteran and Pueblo native. “I am incredibly proud to have helped secure this fitting tribute for a local hero,” said DeGette. “Mr. Dunn represents a generation of men and women who bravely accepted the task of protecting our nation, serving America on and off the battlefield. It is our duty to honor them, particularly those who went above and beyond the call of duty.” James Dunn served with the Marines in the Pacific Theater of World War II. While stationed in Guadalcanal, he led his platoon to safety under heavy enemy fire. For his heroism, he was awarded the Navy Cross, the second highest military decoration a Marine can receive. The legislation to name Pueblo’s VA clinic in his honor was supported by a large contingent of veterans’ groups including the United Veterans Committee of Colorado and the American Legion, Department of Colorado.	1	2026-03-30T12:14:52Z	2026-03-30T12:14:52Z
