I can't believe they're renaming it. It's just not right. Did you know that the bill was introduced by Rep. Brian Mast from Florida?

I don't think it's right to name the VA Medical Center in West Palm Beach after Thomas H. Corey. This bill, HR 7333, is just a waste of time and taxpayer money. There are more important issues that need to be addressed in our country. #HR7333 #VAmedicalcenter #WestPalmBeach

I support renaming it the "Thomas H. Corey VA Medical Center". It honors a deserving veteran. Short term, it boosts morale for our veterans.
