SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. (CBS46) – The public is invited to submit Valentine’s Day cards and letters thanking local veterans for their service.
Rep. Lucy McBath (D-Marietta) announced the launch of the “Valentines for Veterans” program for the Sixth District on Tuesday. People of all ages are encouraged to join McBath in submitting cards to be sent out to local veterans.
“Our veterans make sacrifices for our community and our country every day. I have deep respect for their commitment to keeping our country safe, as my father, brother, and nephew have served,” McBath said. “I encourage community members and our local schools to express their appreciation and support for our service men and women by sending in cards and notes, and hopefully, a smile in honor of the holiday,” she said.
The deadline for submissions is Friday, Feb. 7. Cards and letters can be dropped off or mailed their own to McBath’s Sandy Springs office at the following address: 5775 Glenridge Dr., Building B. Suite 380, Sandy Springs, GA 30328.
