Rep. Mikie Sherrill Calls For Valentines For Veterans

PARSIPPANY, NJ — Morris County-based Congresswoman Mikie Sherill this week announced her upcoming "Valentines for Veterans" program, asking residents to submit handmade Valentine's Day cards at her Parsippany district office.

The cards will be distributed to military veterans living in the 11th Congressional District, according to a press release.

"In the Navy, I landed on ships throughout the fleet to drop off mail. When you are deployed at sea, I know first-hand how meaningful it is to receive cards from friends and family back home," she said in a statement. "This Valentine’s Day, I’d like to invite everyone to write to our local heroes who have returned from their service. I know that these cards will brighten a veteran’s day."

Cards can be hand-delivered or mailed to Sherill's office at 8 Wood Hollow Road, Suite 203, in Parsippany from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. All cards must be submitted by Monday, Feb. 10.

Envelopes should not be sealed closed unless they are submitted by mail.

Cards can also be delivered to upcoming town hall and mobile office hours, as follows:

• Wednesday, Jan. 29: Mobile Office Hours with the Casework Team in Morris Township
  • 12:00 – 2:00 p.m., Morris Township Municipal Building, 50 Woodland Avenue, Conference Room 1
