Rep. Loudermilk’s Bill to Name Cobb VA Clinic after Col. Mike Boyce Passes House

Washington, D.C. (Thursday, July 16, 2026) | Rep. Barry Loudermilk (GA-11) issued the following statement after his legislation to name the Department of Veteran Affairs multispecialty clinic in Marietta, Georgia, after Colonel Michael H. Boyce (H.R. 5362) passed in the House:

“My good friend and well-respected community leader, Colonel Mike H. Boyce, spent much of his life in service to his community, state, and nation. Through his service as an officer in the U.S. Marine Corps and later in elected office as the Chairman of the Cobb County Board of Commissioners, Mike was a tireless advocate for the health and welfare of our active duty servicemembers and our veterans.

“Mike worked to ensure our servicemembers had the tools to succeed and was instrumental in establishing the Cobb County VA Clinic, which remains a vital resource for those who served our country honorably.

“Recognizing Colonel Boyce through this legislation is a fitting tribute to an American hero whose service and advocacy inspired so many, and I greatly appreciate his wife, Judy, for working to continue his incredible legacy.”
