Greetings due by Feb. 8

U.S. Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, whose House district includes the Highlands, has launched his fifth annual Valentines for Veterans initiative in which students, families, individuals and businesses can send Valentine’s Day greetings to veterans care of veterans’ agencies and the Castle Point VA hospital, north of Beacon.

“The vets at Castle Point get a real kick out of getting valentines from folks across the Hudson Valley,” said Maloney. “This is one simple way to show our support and brighten their day.”

To participate, call Maloney’s Newburgh district office at 845-561-1259. Valentines may be mailed to or dropped off at the office (123 Grand St., Second Floor, Newburgh, NY 12550) by 5 p.m. on Feb 8.
