Valentines for Heroes sponsored by congresswoman Mary Miller

The office of Illinois congresswoman Mary Miller (R-Oakland) is asking District 15 residents to participant in her Valentines for Heroes program, in which valentines will be shipped to both active military personnel and to veterans in the district.

Residents are asked to write a general message - like "Thanks for your service," or "Happy Valentine's Day" or something similar. You can buy valentines or make them.

Bring or mail the valentines to Miller's Harrisburg constituent office at 100 E. Locust St., Harrisburg, IL 62946.

The deadline is on or before Feb. 8, so they can be received by Valentine's Day.

If a separate drop-off day or time is needed, direct all questions to Sallie Nyhan at (217) 500-7834.
