Congressman Pat Ryan will be hosting his second annual “Valentines for Veterans” program. He is encouraging schools, community organizations and individuals, throughout the 18^th Congressional District, to create a Valentine’s Day greeting card that will be distributed to local veterans.

With your help, we will deliver valentines to veterans at the Castle Point VA Hospital in Wappingers Falls and additional locations around the district. Now more than ever, it is important for us to come together and celebrate our veterans’ service to our country. Many have been separated from families and friends and a simple friendly greeting goes a long way.

Valentine’s Day greetings may be mailed or dropped off to the Congressman’s District office at 605 Broadway, Newburgh between the hours of 9:00AM and 5:00PM, Monday - Friday, through February 7^th, 2024 (mailed cards must be postmarked no later than 2/7/24). If you need additional information about the “Valentines for Veterans” program, please contact our District office at (845) 443-2930.

**We ask that you please enclose a list of how many cards you are sending or dropping off (you can place it inside one of the boxes or in a separate envelope).

Any educators coordinating this effort in their classroom or building should contact a member of the Communications team (communications@necsd.net) with details to photograph the process and/or final product of your efforts!

We sincerely thank you for your participation in this meaningful program.
