It is a wonderful program and one I found most rewarding. I am so glad it finally has gotten some recognition. Warren Unit #11 of the American Legion has been doing Valentine's for Veterans for at least 8-10 years. With the help of the teachers and children of Hugh Cole and Rockwell Schools it has been very successful. Beside making the Veterans very happy it has also taught the children about Veterans, America and why they should be grateful to Veterans for the role they play in their future. The children also made bracelets and, Warren Unit #11 made book marks which were part of the packet given to the Veterans.at the local nursing homes, Senior Centers as well as the Veterans Home. Good work!!
