maining troops. Without gunship, artillery, or tac-
tical aircraft support, the enemy concentrated all 
firepower on his lone aircraft, which was imme-
diately damaged by a mortar round that shattered 
both front windshields and the chin bubble and was 
further raked by small arms and machine gun fire. 
Despite the intense enemy fire, Major Kettles main-
tained control of the aircraft and situation, allowing 
time for the remaining eight soldiers to board the 
aircraft. In spite of the severe damage to his heli-
copter, Major Kettles once more skillfully guided his 
heavily damaged aircraft to safety. Without his cou-
rageous actions and superior flying skills, the last 
group of soldiers and his crew would never have 
made it off the battlefield. Major Kettles’ selfless 
acts of repeated valor and determination are in 
keeping with the highest traditions of military serv-
ice and reflect great credit upon himself and the 
United States Army.’’. 
(b) DESIGNATION.—The medical center of the De-
partment of Veterans Affairs in Ann Arbor, Michigan, 
shall after the date of the enactment of this Act be known 
and designated as the ‘‘Lieutenant Colonel Charles S. Ket-
tles Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center’’ or
the ‘‘Lieutenant Colonel Charles S. Kettles VA Medical 
Center’’. 
(c) REFERENCE.—Any reference in any law, regula-
tion, map, document, paper, or other record of the United 
States to the medical center referred to in subsection (b) 
shall be considered to be a reference to the Lieutenant 
Colonel Charles S. Kettles Department of Veterans Affairs 
Medical Center.

2020.
