U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO-03) has announced that in the second year of the “Valentines for Veterans” program, his offices received over 13,000 valentines to be distributed to veterans around the 3^rd District.

“I am incredibly amazed at the response by the community to the “Valentines for Veterans” program,” Luetkemeyer said. “Last year, my local offices received an outpouring of support and this year surpassed those numbers. Thank you to everyone who participated in the program, your time and generosity will not go unnoticed from our men and women who have served our nation.”

The cards came from schools, youth groups, churches, and individuals around the 3^rd District. Luetkemeyer’s office has already begun distributing the cards to local VA hospitals, veterans homes, and veterans service organizations.
