Office of Rep. Marilyn Strickland announcement.
Congresswoman Marilyn Strickland (WA-10) announced the launch of her first annual Valentines for Veterans Drive, where South Sound residents are invited to make handmade Valentine’s Day cards and bring them to her offices in either Lacey or Lakewood starting on Monday, January 24th, 2022 through Monday, February 7, 2022. Once received, valentines will be distributed to veterans living across Washington’s 10th Congressional District.
“As the daughter of a veteran, I know that our veterans deserve our respect, gratitude and love,” said Strickland. “Our Valentines for Veterans drive is a great opportunity for young people and the entire South Sound community to acknowledge the extraordinary service of the thousands of veterans that are our neighbors, friends and loved ones.”
Residents can leave valentines at the labeled drop box by the elevator on the first floor of Lacey City Hall or at the labeled drop box by the front desk of Lakewood City Hall at any time from Monday through Fridays between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. until Monday, February 7. Valentines can also be mailed in at either of the addresses listed below.

More “fiddling while Rome burns”…..
Soldiers don’t want valentines day cards Congresswoman Strickland. They want decent neighborhoods for their families to live in and schools that teach what is needed to be employable.
There is a citizens’ meeting tonight at the Lemay Museum in Tacoma at 6pm, to address the madness you have left there in your political wake – or should I say “woke”?
Tacoma is melting down under the failure of continued progressive Marxist policy. One might think the Chinese Comunist Party has influence there.
It is filthy, dangerous, and more divided now than I have ever seen it.
Is this a reflection of your values, and what you plan for the 10th district also?
The current Tacoma mayor, who refers to you as her “mentor” will be in the hot seat tonight, if she shows up.
I will be there to get a gage on what the priorities really are these days.
As a long-time Tacoma business owner, I don’t believe valentines day cards will be high on the list.

So Strickland want to treat Veterans like school children? How offensive. Instead she should work towards making our military great again instead of “woke” wussies that won’t uphold their oaths to defend and protect the Constitution. I can tell you from my own experience on Active Duty (21+years) that vets don’t want valentines day cards from people they don’t know. Support the police, get them the funding they need to fight the crime surge. Defund CRT, it is racist as hell, prove your party is more than the party that founded the KKK and voted against the Civil Rights bill.
