About:
Bowling Green Elementary School students in the East Meadow School District expressed their gratitude and appreciation for U.S. troops by creating more than 700 Valentine’s Day cards for veterans. The young students inscribed their cards with meaningful messages and decorated them with illustrations, stickers, paper cutouts and more. Impressed by the vast amount of these thoughtful cards, Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano offered to send them to hospitalized veterans as part of the “Valentines for Veterans” program.
