Oregon Senators Jeff Merkley, Ron Wyden and Congressman Greg Walden announced Friday the U-S Senate approved naming the Bend VA clinic in honor of the late Robert Maxwell. The World War 2 veteran was a recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor and worked as a schoolteacher in Bend for many years. Congressman Walden urged the House Veterans Affairs Committee to quickly move the bill to the full U-S House for a final vote.
