U.S. Rep. Vicente Gonzalez, Democratic congressman for District 34, wants to ensure that all U.S. veterans receive valentines on Valentine’s Day and is seeking the public’s help.
Gonzalez is asking residents living in his district to write Valentine’s Day cards for them.
“This Valentine’s Day, I encourage our community to come together and show their appreciation for our veterans by participating in this annual event,” Gonzalez stated in a news release. “Our veterans put their lives on the line for our freedoms. We owe them a debt of gratitude, and this program is one of the many ways we show our local veterans that we continue to think and appreciate them throughout year.”
This is the fourth year he will be collecting valentines for the annual “Valentines for Vets program,” the congressman said in the news release.
Constituents of all ages are encouraged to participate by dropping off or mailing cards to Congressman Gonzalez’s district offices by Thursday, Feb.9.
The Valentine’s Day card can be sent to the following addresses:
>> Brownsville Office: 835 E. Levee St., 6th Floor, Brownsville, TX 78250;
>> Weslaco Office: 255 S. Kansas Ave., Weslaco, TX 78596;
