Thanks to your participation, we were able to collect over 8000 <br /> Valentine's greetings, all hand-made by the schoolchildren of the Ninth Congressional <br /> District. <br /> We distributed these greetings to those serving the United States overseas with the <br /> help of Cape Cod Cares For Our Troops, which has been sending care packages to <br /> American soldiers, sailors and Marines on active duty for eight years. We had so many <br /> Valentines that we were able to give some to the veterans seeking medical attention at the <br /> Brockton VA Hospital as well. <br /> Please pass along my sincere gratitude to the children who created these <br /> greetings, and the teachers and staff who worked to make this project such a resounding <br /> success! It is so important to remember those who are making such a sacrifice to <br /> preserve our freedoms, and you and your students did just that through your work on the <br /> Love Our Troops campaign. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> William R. Keating <br /> Member of Congress <br />
