AUSTIN — The Veterans Land Board’s Valentine’s cards campaign is underway, and Texans are encouraged to participate.
Texas Land Commissioner and VLB Chairwoman Dawn Buckingham is urging residents to send Valentine’s Day cards to veterans living in the state’s 10 Texas State Veterans Homes.
“We are the land of the free because of the brave,” Buckingham said. “This Valentine’s Day, I encourage Texans to show appreciation for our veterans by sending cards to our 10 Texas State Veterans Homes. Anyone can participate in the VLB’s Valentines for Vets campaign, including schoolchildren, co-workers, families and friends. Each Valentine sent will remind our heroes that their courageous sacrifices will never be forgotten.”
The program began in 2021 and has since distributed thousands of cards and drawings to veterans.
Those wishing to participate can address their letters to Texas Veterans, in care of Valentines for Vets.
Cards must be postmarked by Tuesday, Feb. 10, and may be sent to any of the 10 state veterans homes. A full list of mailing addresses is available online.
