"It's an honor to once again deliver valentines cards to veterans, their families, and caregivers in our community," said Davids. "As the daughter of a veteran, I understand firsthand the sacrifice our veterans make while serving our country. The Valentines for Veterans program is one small, yet personal way we can show our appreciation for those who have worked to keep us safe. I'm thankful for the Kansans who participated and look forward to next year's program."

Davids, whose mother served in the U.S. Army for 20 years, has worked hard to ensure Kansas veterans are supported after returning home from active duty. Most recently, she helped pass the Honoring our PACT Act, which expands Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) health care eligibility to 3.5 million American veterans exposed to burn pits and toxic airborne hazards while deployed.
