As Valentine's Day approaches, U.S. Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (D-MI) invites local students to participate in the “Valentines for Veterans” project by making handmade Valentine cards for local veterans. Since 2015, students across the region created hundreds of cards to show veterans how much they are loved and appreciated. This is the sixth year that Dingell has organized the “Valentines for Veterans” project.
“A gesture as small as a handmade card can mean so much to the men and women who served our country,” said Dingell. “For Valentine's Day, I invite all students to join us in showing our veterans how much we appreciate their service and sacrifices. Our veterans have done so much to protect our country and the freedoms we enjoy every day.”
The cards will be delivered on Valentine's Day by Dingell to both the John D. Dingell VA Medical Center and the Ann Arbor VA.
Those who wish to participate may drop off artwork at Dingell's Michigan offices through Wednesday, Feb. 12, or call the Dearborn office at (313) 278-2936 to arrange for pickup. The Dearborn office is located at 19855 West Outer Dr., Suite 103-E, Dearborn, MI 48124. The Ypsilanti office is at 301 West Michigan Ave., Suite 400, Ypsilanti.
