Captain Paul W. Bud Bucha VA Medical Center Act of 2025

H.R. 4647, the Captain Paul W. Bud Bucha VA Medical Center Act of 2025, proposes to designate a Department of Veterans Affairs medical facility in honor of Captain Paul W. Bud Bucha. The bill recognizes Bucha's military service and contributions to the armed forces by naming a VA medical center after him. This type of legislation serves as a congressional tribute to honor veterans while also raising awareness of the VA medical facility that would bear his name.

If enacted, the bill would change the official name of the designated VA medical center to the Captain Paul W. Bud Bucha VA Medical Center. The practical effect would be primarily symbolic, establishing a lasting tribute to the veteran while potentially increasing public recognition of the facility. The bill is currently under consideration in the House Subcommittee on Health and has not yet been voted on by the full chamber.
