Valentine’s Day isn’t just about romance—it’s about expressing love, gratitude, and kindness. While many people celebrate with chocolates and flowers, it’s also the perfect time to show appreciation to the heroes who have served our country. Veterans have made countless sacrifices to protect our freedoms, and a small act of kindness can mean the world to them.

This Valentine’s Day, join Soldiers’ Angels in spreading love and appreciation to the men and women who have served our nation. Here are some simple yet meaningful ways to make a Veteran feel valued on this special day.

1. Send a Valentine’s Card to a Veteran

✅ How to Do It:

• Write a short, sincere message of gratitude.
• Get your kids, school, or community involved by making homemade Valentine’s cards.
• Mail your cards to the Soldiers’ Angels Valentine’s for Veterans program to ensure they reach Veterans in need.

3. Start a Collection Drive for Veterans

Many Veterans spend Valentine’s Day alone, especially those in VA hospitals or nursing homes. Fortunately, Soldiers’ Angels volunteers visit Veteran patients year-round, bringing comfort and companionship. Our collection drives provide essential items that volunteers distribute during their visits.

This February, we’re kicking off Warm Feet for Warriors, and we need your help collecting socks of all kinds and colors for Service Members and Veterans. A simple pair of socks can provide warmth, comfort, and a reminder that they are not forgotten.
