Sometimes, all it takes is a thoughtful card to brighten a person’s day. That’s how a 76-year-old Vietnam veteran has made sure other comrades who served aren’t forgotten each Valentine’s Day.
Veterans of Foreign Wars chaplain Wes Anderson, who served in the U.S. Marine Corps, launched Valentines for Veterans in 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic paused family visits at the Spokane Veterans Home in Washington.
“I knew the veterans didn't have any way of getting out or families being able to contact them, so I contacted a friend of mine with Northeast Youth Center (in Spokane) to see if he could have his kids do some Valentine's Day cards for the veterans here,” Anderson told USA TODAY.
