‘Valentines for Veterans’ campaign underway

A month-long campaign focusing on “Valentines for Veterans” is underway, courtesy of the Texas Veterans Land Board. The campaign encourages Texas residents to drop a card in the mail to any of the approximately 1,000 residents of the state’s nine Veterans Homes, showing appreciation for their service.

“We are humbled and privileged to provide care to so many of our nation’s heroes,” said VLB Chairman George P. Bush. “As we approach Valentine’s Day, I challenge all Texans to take a minute of their time to show their appreciation of these men and women by sending Valentines. I look forward to the success of this effort and the support of communities across Texas.”

Texans interested in participating can mail Valentines to any of the nine State Veterans Homes. To ensure on time delivery, cards should be postmarked by no later than Feb. 10 and should include “Valentines for Veterans” in the mailing address.
