North Ogden Mayor Brent Taylor — killed this month in Afghanistan — may soon have a Veterans Affairs building in his city named in his honor.
Rep. Rob Bishop, R-Utah, introduced a bill Tuesday seeking that change and gave a House speech to honor the late mayor and Utah National Guard major.
“In April of this year, the Department of Veterans Affairs opened a facility in North Ogden City. It’s a place where veterans and their families can go to receive counseling, support and other help,” Bishop said.
“It’s located right in the heart of Brent Taylor’s hometown and, as a small gesture to his service and sacrifice, I have introduced a bill to name this VA facility the ‘Major Brent Taylor Vet Center Outstation.
