Submitted by the office of Congressman Brad Schneider

Congressman Brad Schneider has announced the launch of the 10th District "Valentines for Vets" program to collect and distribute Valentine's Day cards to local veterans.

Constituents of all ages are encouraged to participate by dropping off or mailing cards to Schneider's Lincolnshire office. The deadline for submissions is Friday, Feb. 9.

"Our brave military men and women earn our admiration and gratitude every day. Valentine's Day gives us the chance to show our appreciation in a special way," Schneider said. "A card or handwritten note is a great way to give back to those who have given so much for our country."

This is Schneider's second year hosting the program. In 2017, his office collected more than 1,000 cards from constituents and area schoolchildren, which Schneider distributed to veterans at Lovell Federal Health Care Center and at a breakfast of the Lake County Honor Flight.

Valentines can be mailed to: Congressman Schneider's Lincolnshire Office, 111 Barclay Blvd, Suite 200, Lincolnshire, IL 60069.
