Congressman Heck Calls on Students of the 10th District to Participate in the 2015 Valentines for Veterans Drive

Press Release

Date: Feb. 5, 2015
Issues: Veterans Arts, Entertainment, and History

Congressman Denny Heck (WA-10) has launched his third annual "Valentines for Veterans" Drive. Students from around the South Sound are encouraged to decorate cards thanking our local veterans for their service to the United States. Congressman Heck and his office will then deliver the cards to the American Lake VA and other locations in the South Sound--including local chapters of The American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW)--on Valentine's Day.

"Valentines for Veterans is a fun project for art class and a great family-friendly activity," Heck said. "Last year we were able to distribute 2,487 valentines to veterans throughout the South Sound and I'd like to have even more this year. Of course, quality is as important as quantity, so I look forward to the handmade cards created by our talented students to give our distinguished veteran community a sign of our gratitude and respect."
