UNION GROVE, Wis. - The Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs (WDVA) is asking for caring individuals to send Valentine’s Day cards to our veterans living at the Wisconsin Veterans Homes in Chippewa Falls, King, and Union Grove.
WDVA received 24,000 valentines in 2023 and spread a lot of love to all of our veterans, loved ones, and Gold Star families that reside in our homes.
Secretary-designee James Bond issued the following statement in a news release:
"Last year, the residents at our three Wisconsin Veterans Homes were thrilled to receive such an outpouring of Valentine’s Day wishes and thoughtful messages. It’s a fun way to bring joy to their day and let them know we appreciate their service to our country."
