Casten Thanks Veterans with Valentines Throughout IL-06

Oak Lawn, IL — U.S. Congressman Sean Casten (IL-06) recently delivered valentines to veterans at Johnson-Phelps VFW Post #5220 in Oak Lawn.

“I am honored to organize my Valentines for Veterans card drive every year,” said Rep. Sean Casten. “It is amazing to see the creativity and generosity of our community. We are forever indebted to the sacrifices our veterans have made for our country, and these cards are a small way to thank them.”

In recent weeks, Rep. Casten’s office has collected over 2,700 valentines from community members to deliver to local veterans. Cards were made by constituents across the 6th Congressional District, including students at Southwest Cook County Cooperative Association for Special Education, Downers Grove South High School, Methodist Preschool of La Grange, and Our Lady of the Woods School in Orland Park.

In addition to Johnson-Phelps VFW Post #5220 in Oak Lawn, Rep. Casten’s office has delivered valentines at 22 local VFWs, American Legions, medical facilities, and other community centers.
