Today, Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI-12), Congressman Tim Walberg (MI-07), staff and friends delivered valentines to veterans at the John D. Dingell VA Medical Center in Detroit. Over the last two weeks, students and residents from across the state, including Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, Dearborn, Taylor and Belleville pitched in to help with the “Valentines for Veterans” project, creating more than 2,000 handmade cards to show veterans that they are loved. "The valentines drawn by children and residents from the 12th District and across the state were unique, artistic, precious and heart-warming," said Dingell. "They brought a smile to faces and cheer to sterile rooms, and it's important that we continue to find ways to show the men and women who served our country that we’re thinking of them, we love them, and we’ll never forget their service and sacrifice.” Tomorrow, Dingell will continue to deliver valentines to veterans at the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System. |
