A bill to rename The Dalles veterans’ clinic after Sergeant First Class Loren R. Kaufman, a native of The Dalles and one of Oregon’s 14 Medal of Honor recipients, has been signed into law by the President. The clinic named in his honor will be called the Loren R. Kaufman VA Clinic. Oregon Second District Congressman Greg Walden said the tribute is fitting. Sgt. Kaufman was awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously for his bravery and selfless actions to save his company while serving in the U.S. Army during World War II and the Korean War.
