AUSTIN, Texas— Today, Texas Land Commissioner and Veterans Land Board (VLB) Chairwoman Dawn Buckingham, M.D., is encouraging Texans to support a Veteran by participating in the VLB's campaign to send Valentines cards to the Veterans who reside in Texas' 10 State Veterans Homes. The Texas General Land Office (GLO) and the VLB urges Texans to take part in this mission to show these courageous men and women that they are valued in their communities.
"We are the land of the free because of the brave. This Valentine's Day, I encourage Texans to show appreciation for our Veterans by sending cards to our 10 Texas State Veterans Homes," said Commissioner Buckingham. "Anyone can send a card through the VLB's Valentines for Vets campaign, including schoolchildren, co-workers, families, and friends. Each Valentine sent will remind our heroes that their courageous sacrifices will never be forgotten."
