"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.
