Valentines for Heroes

Our veterans and first responders have sacrificed so much to defend our freedom and keep our communities safe. As we approach Valentine’s Day, join me sharing your gratitude by creating and submitting valentines to give to these heroes.

These cards, filled with kind and heartfelt words, will be distributed to veterans, active duty military, and first responders in our district to remind them that their dedication and bravery do not go unnoticed.

Here’s how you or your group can participate:

• • Create Your Valentine: Use your creativity to craft a card that expresses your appreciation. Feel free to include personal messages, drawings, or decorations. 
  • Submit Your Valentine: Drop off or mail your valentines to any of our district offices by February 5th, 2025.
