Calling all students, parents, and teachers! My office is hosting our annual Valentines for Veterans project and we need your help. Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and I know we could all use a little love and kindness right now.
Every year, we invite students to join us in showing our veterans how much we appreciate their service and sacrifice with handmade valentine cards. We also continue to recognize and thank our VA doctors, nurses, administrators, and staff who have risked their own health to provide care. It’s one of my favorite parts of every year to see the outpouring of love and kindness students share with our veterans.
Join us in making valentines cards for local veterans to show them how much we appreciate their service.
How to participate:
|
- Grab your art supplies or write a note to a local veteran.
- Please drop off your handmade valentines by February 7th to the Ann Arbor office at 2006 Hogback Road, Suite 7 or the Woodhaven office in the Woodhaven City Hall building at 21869 West Road.
- We will hand-deliver each valentine by Valentine’s Day to the John D. Dingell VA Medical Center and Lieutenant Colonel Charles S. Kettles Ann Arbor VA Medical Center.

NOTE: Participating schools with a large volume of Valentines for Veterans may contact our office to arrange a pick-up.
If you have any questions or would like to arrange a pick-up, please call 313-278-2936 for assistance or email Melanie.Thon@mail.house.gov.
A simple gesture of compassion can change a life, especially for the men and women who have served our nation. I hope you’ll join us in spreading some love to our veterans!
