​Valentines for Veterans is an opportunity to show your appreciation to military service members!

Message Ideas

1. Tell the Veteran why they are important, what you plan to do this year to remember our nation's proud military history, or the reason you want to wish them a Happy Valentine's Day.
2. Thank the Veteran for his or her service, sacrifice and commitment to our country and citizens.
3. Write a poem or include one of significance to Valentine's Day or to Veterans.
4. Send a store-bought valentine; hand-crafted cards, however, make Veterans feel extra special.
5. Valentines of all shapes, sizes, and colours are welcome. However, valentines that are greeting-card size are easier to distribute.

Tips 

1. Please do not include candy or chocolate with the valentines.
2. Please do not use glitter or materials that easily break off.
3. Encourage a student to sign their valentine and to write a bit about themselves—their age and what school they attend. However, do not include addresses or phone numbers.

Please mail your Valentines to:
