Office of Rep. Marilyn Strickland announcement.
Lakewood, WA – Today (January 14, 2025), Congresswoman Marilyn Strickland (WA-10) announced her annual Valentines for Veterans and First Responders drive. Valentines will be distributed to veterans and first responders in Washington’s 10th Congressional District, and for the first time, Valentines will be distributed to JBLM soldiers deployed to Korea.
“Our annual Valentines for Veterans demonstrates how the South Sound comes together to support our veterans, first responders, and active duty servicemembers, said Strickland. “Thank you to those who made valentines last year, and to those who are making valentines this year so we can spread goodwill to our friends and neighbors—and those deployed overseas.”
