(Iowa) -- Iowa U.S. Senator Joni Ernst introduces federal legislation to honor the two Iowa National Guardsmen killed in Syria in December.
Ernst introduced the Iowa's National Guard Heroes Commemoration Act that would rename the VA clinic in Des Moines as "The Staff Sergeant Edgar Torres-Tovar VA Clinic" and the outpatient clinic of the Department of Marshalltown as the "Staff Sergeant William Nathaniel Howard VA Clinic." Sergeants Torres-Tovar and Howard were killed along with a U.S. civilian interpreter in an ISIS attack in Syria on December 13th.
