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.
Air Force depots are not typically meant for quick repair jobs, but during Operation Epic Fury, the service moved some of its stateside heavy maintenance capability forward to fix battle-damaged aircraft closer to the fight.
