The News Herald - Dingell to "Send Smiles to Vets' Friday

News Article

When U.S. Rep Debbie Dingell (D-12th District) decided to have local students make valentines for veterans in February, she had no idea what that would become.

Now three months later, her rebanded "Sending Smiles to Vets," program has turned into a year-round programs aimed at helping keep veterans happy.

"Too many of the men and women at our local VA hospitals cannot be outside to enjoy this warmer weather," said Dingell. "We need your help to bring cheer indoors and remind our veterans how much we love and appreciate them."

Dingell will be making another delivery Friday at the John D. Dingell VA Medical Center in Detroit.

Those who wish to have their work included in the Memorial Day Weekend delivery should drop it off at Dingell's Michigan offices between now and 4 p.m. on Thursday, May 21st, or call the Dearborn office at 313-278-2936 to arrange for pickup. Other delivery dates will be scheduled throughout the summer.
