Jan. 15—AUSTIN — Texas Land Commissioner and Veterans Land Board (VLB) Chairwoman Dr. Dawn Buckingham on Wednesday encouraged Texans to participate in the VLB’s campaign to send Valentines cards to the veterans who reside in Texas’ nine State Veterans Homes.
The Texas General Land Office (GLO) and the VLB urges Texans to take part in this mission to show these courageous men and women that they are an integral part of our communities.
“Honoring the men and women who served our country with Valentines cards is an impactful and simple way to show our veterans we are thinking of them,” Buckingham said in a news release. “Every Valentine sent through the VLB’s Valentines for Veterans campaign will let our veterans know their communities care deeply for them and appreciate their sacrifices.”
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 February 10th and include ‘Valentines for Veterans’ in the mailing address.
