Operation Valentine
PORT ANGELES — Drennan-Ford Funeral Home has begun its fifth annual Operation Valentine collection program.
Operation Valentine is a project that allows anyone in the community to create a handmade Valentine’s Day card to be delivered to a U.S. veteran or active-duty service member.
Other recipients of the cards may be actively deployed or an elderly veteran.
Valentines can include words of encouragement, get-well sentiments, “thank you for serving our country,” etc. They can be in the form of cut-out hearts, folded paper with a note, drawings and the like.
Envelopes are not necessary.
It is requested that a return response from the veteran not be requested, as the nature of his or her injury or illness or the status of his or her current service may preclude him or her from responding.
Drennan-Ford has support from the Port Angeles School District, Dry Creek Elementary School, Greywolf Elementary School, Olympic Christian School, the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Olympic Peninsula and Sequim Girl Scout Troop Daisy No. 43870.
Drennan-Ford owners Steve and Leah Ford will collect the valentines at local schools Jan. 30.
