Today, Representative Pete Aguilar announced that his office will host the Valentines for Veterans program, where local students in kindergarten through the fifth grade are encouraged to make Valentine’s Day cards for San Bernardino County veterans.

“This is a nice opportunity to include our kids in thanking local veterans for their service to our nation,” said Representative Aguilar. He added, “A little bit can go a long way. I think these cards will brighten the day for veterans in our community and serve as a reminder that we’re always thinking of them and what they’ve done to keep us safe.”

To participate, cards must be made by students in kindergarten through the 5^th grade in California’s 31^st Congressional District.  Cards can be made with construction paper, crayons or markers, and should not include students’ names. For health purposes, students are also asked to refrain from using glitter. All valentines must be brought to Representative Aguilar’s office no later than February 12^th. The office address is 685 E. Carnegie Drive, Suite 100 in San Bernardino. For additional questions on the Valentines for Veterans program, please contact Representative Aguilar’s office at 909-890-4445.
