(Waite Park, Minn.) Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (MN-06) is happy to announce her office’s participation in the “Valentine for Veteran” project. Each year, elementary schools within the sixth district encourage their students to make handmade valentines for the veterans within the district. The schools then send their Valentines to Congresswoman Bachmann’s office for delivery to the St. Cloud VA just before Valentine’s Day. This year’s delivery will take place this Friday, February 10th.

“Americans across the country love our veterans. After all, it was due to their service that this country has remained safe and free for so long,” Congresswoman Bachmann said. “I am so thankful to each of our area’s schoolchildren for taking the time to make these precious valentines for our veterans. I know each and every veteran will be encouraged by these expressions of love during Valentine’s Day.”

Area Schools that participated in this year’s project include Mississippi Heights Elementary School in Sauk Rapids, Minn.; Oak Ridge Elementary in Sartell, Minn.; Rogers Elementary in Rogers, Minn.; Franklin Elementary in Anoka, Minn.; and Rum River Elementary in Andover, Minn.
