“To everyone who sent in cards, and to all who continue to support Wisconsin’s veterans—thank you. Your kindness makes a difference.”
Thanks to the generosity of people from across Wisconsin and the nation, the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs (WDVA) was able to distribute thousands of Valentines Day cards to Wisconsin veterans last week. WDVA Secretary James Bond personally delivered cards on Valentine’s Day to the veterans, loved ones, and Gold Star families residing at our home in Union Grove.
“Seeing all these beautiful cards and reading the heartfelt messages is a powerful reminder of what we can do for veterans when we work together,” said Secretary Bond. “To everyone who sent in cards, and to all who continue to support Wisconsin’s veterans—thank you. Your kindness makes a difference.”
More than 28,000 Valentines cards were made and sent in from across the state and nation. Deputy Secretary Chris McElgunn and other WDVA team members delivered cards to veterans at our homes at King and Chippewa Falls, and to veterans residing in our Veterans Housing and Recovery Program (VHRP) in Chippewa Falls, Green Bay, and Union Grove.
