Valentines for Vets: How to Honor Veterans This Valentine’s Day

Valentines For Vets is one of the most important things we do each year, but you are the ones who make it all possible.

Whether it's a school, your family, a church group, or you and your co-workers, anyone and everyone is encouraged to make homemade valentines. We'll need to have them at the KHAK studios by the end of the business day on Friday, February 6th.

Here are a few rules and things to remember when making your valentines!

Please DON'T use glitter! There is a two-fold reason not to use glitter. Not only can it be a health hazard at the hospital it also makes a mess. If a card has glitter, it can't be given to a patient and has to be thrown away, so please don't use it!
Please do not include candy, as many patients aren't allowed to eat it. We don't want to tempt them or put them at risk.
We also ask that only your first or last name (not both) be written on the valentines. Don't hesitate to include the name of your organization.
