Expressing our Gratitude
Now Collecting Handmade Valentines for Collin County Veterans
As you may know, the week of February 14th is widely recognized as National Salute to Veteran Patients Week and provides Americans the opportunity to honor and thank veterans across the country.
Each year, across the country, thousands of veterans are hospitalized in VA medical centers, oftentimes away from family and friends during extended periods of treatment. To provide comfort to these individuals, I ask students and teachers from elementary schools across Texas’ Third Congressional District to create valentines I will later hand-deliver to the Dallas VA Medical Center. This simple show of support for means an immeasurable amount to those who have worn the uniform.
This valuable program creates an excellent opportunity to teach young students about freedom and military service, while expressing gratitude to those we can never thank enough for their sacrifice. Now through Tuesday, February 11, 2020, I will be accepting valentines at my Collin County office located at 5600 Tennyson Parkway, Suite 275 in Plano, Texas 75024.
Should you have any questions regarding this program, please feel free to reach out to Gabriella Pate in my Collin County office by email or by phone at (972) 202-4150. Guidelines for handmade valentines can be found here.
Thank you for helping to make North Texas home to great schools and students, and for lifting the spirits of our veterans on what could otherwise be a lonely day.
Semper Fidelis,
