1727 valentine cards

February was National Hospitalized Veterans Month and to show their love and gratitude to them, Plant City Elks Lodge members brought more than 300 valentines to the lodge for everyone to sign and add messages of thanks for the hospitalized veterans at the James A. Haley Veterans Hospital in Tampa, Florida. Judy Wise, Veterans Chairman, and her husband, Ed, Americanism Chairman, delivered the valentines. Students from Advantage Academy in Plant City, Florida, also made 240 cards after Wise informed a teacher there about celebrating hospitalized veterans in February. The program was used in art, English and history classes as a teaching moment for the students about veterans and their sacrifices. The teachers donated the art materials.
