(Radio Iowa) - Iowa's entire Congressional delegation is sponsoring legislation to name two Veterans Administration facilities after the two Iowa National Guard soldiers killed in Syria.
Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley says the V-A facility in Des Moines would be named after Staff Sergeant Edgar Torres-Tovar and the V-A outpatient clinic in Marshalltown would be named after Staff Sergeant William Howard.
The facilities are located in the home towns of those soldiers. Grassley says we're forever indebted to them for their dedication and service to Iowa and protecting our country. The two soldiers were killed in a terror attack while deployed in Syria.
