Veterans Affairs Secretary James Nicholson proclaimed that the community-based outpatient clinic in Newark, Ohio, is a “permanent facility” when he dedicated the facility Tuesday. The 3,500-square-foot Newark clinic had opened in March 2004 as a temporary VA clinic. A VA release said, the clinic’s staff of eight provided care to nearly 8,400 patients during Fiscal 2006.
The Air Force has finished modifying and testing the new VC-25B Bridge aircraft that will serve as a temporary Air Force One, the service announced May 1. All that’s left now is to finish painting the jet before it starts flying this summer.
