Letting those special people in our lives know how much they mean to us is important on Valentine’s Day. Speaking of which, the Valentines for Vets deadline is drawing near. This is a program where the Cherokee Nation Office of Veterans Affairs is encouraging everyone to send in home-made valentines to give that special message of support to our wounded warriors who are confined to area hospitals or nursing homes. Distribution of these valentines will be February 10th.
