In November of 2004, the President signed Public Law 108-422, officially
renaming the Bronx VA Medical Center after long-time veterans advocate, James J.
Peters, who served over 30 years as Executive Director of the Eastern Paralyzed
Veterans Association (now United Spinal Association). On September 26th 2005,
the medical center was officially renamed in honor of James J. Peters.
