Share the love: Send Valentines to veterans

Army & Air Force Exchange Service shoppers may show their appreciation to military service members by sending free valentines through the Andrews Main Exchange now through Feb. 6.

Now in its second year, the “Valentines for Veterans” campaign sends greetings to local Veterans Administration hospitals, Fisher House locations and military retirement facilities.

“Our shoppers include many veterans and their families who know what it means to serve, and understand how nice it is to be remembered,” said Chris Holifield, Andrews Main Exchange’s general manager. “‘Valentines for Veterans’ is an opportunity for our patrons to reach out to those who’ve already served and send their greetings.”

To send free Valentine’s Day cards, shoppers can simply stop by the Andrews Main Exchange through Feb. 6 and fill out cards provided, or bring their own cards to drop off. The drop off box at the Andrews Main Exchange is located at the front of the store next to the Value Zone. The exchange will arrange for delivery to local veterans on or before Valentine’s Day.

Exchange shoppers can learn more by contacting the Andrews Main Exchange at 301-568-1500 and asking about “Valentines for Veterans.”
