Dating back to ancient Rome, some 4,000 years ago, the month of February has symbolized romance and love. While details on how Valentine’s Day ended up on February 14th differ, traditional gift giving, sending valentine cards, and professing one’s undying love have always remained consistent.

To conclude her annual Valentine's program, House Minority Leader Tony McCombie delivered hundreds of Valentine’s Day cards to area veterans. McCombie launched her ‘Valentines for Vets’ program last month and received countless cards created by students, local groups, and area residents to then distribute to veterans on February 14th.
