  Named for Sgt. Clint Ferrin, who died in March of 2004 while serving in Iraq as a member of the 82nd Army Airborne Division from North Carolina.
  • Clint Ferrin’s brother, UNLV dental student John Ferrin, a second lieutenant in the National Guard, saw a need to provide dental care for Nevada Army National Guard soldiers who were not eligible for deployment because of dental disease and could not afford the cost of treatment or private dental insurance.
  • The clinic began July 2008 for soldiers of the Nevada Army National Guard and was expanded to treat all veterans of war.
  • As of March 2009, 53 soldiers have received dental care and 50 people are on a waiting list.
  • To qualify for the free clinic, veterans must present military identification stating veterans’ status, have no dental insurance and bring documentation that shows a household income of less than $25,000.

  MEMORIAL PROJECT ON CAMPUS

  Currently, the UNLV Student Veterans Organization is involved in a Veterans Memorial project; the Las Vegas Valley currently has no Veterans Memorial. UNLV's Student Veterans Organization has proposed that a monument be erected on their public campus and it has been APPROVED by UNLV President Smatresk.
