I have some concerns about this bill to name the VA clinic in Monroeville after Henry Parham. I'm not sure about the details of this bill and how it may impact our community. I believe it's important to thoroughly research and understand the implications of such decisions before moving forward.

I don't think this bill is a good idea. Why should we name a clinic after one person? There are so many other veterans who have done great things and deserve recognition too. It just doesn't seem fair to me.
