WASHINGTON – Today, Congresswoman Leger Fernández delivered Valentine cards to local veterans as part of her “Valentines for Veterans” program.
Today, Congresswoman Leger Fernández delivered Valentine cards to local veterans as part of her “Valentines for Veterans” program. During her visit to the state capitol, the Congresswoman met with New Mexico State Police Officers and legislators who are veterans. Rep. Leger Fernández also visited the Santa Fe Community Convention Center and met city employee veterans from the Santa Fe area. Last week, the Congresswoman announced her “Valentines for Veterans” program, which sought to connect kids with local veterans to show them appreciation, gratitude, and support for their service in uniform by making homemade Valentine’s Day cards. “This Valentine’s Day, we recognize, honor, and express our gratitude to the New Mexicans who selflessly served in defense of our great nation. We will never forget their sacrifices and bravery to protect what we love and cherish,” said Leger Fernández. “My heart is warmed, por nuestros niños y la gente, who joined me in spreading love and creating cards for our local veterans to thank them for their service.” Congresswoman Leger Fernández is a strong supporter of veterans. In just one year, the House of Representatives has passed 29 bills to support veterans—and eight of those bills have been signed into law. This includes the American Rescue Plan, which delivered $17 billion in support to veterans. In addition, Rep. Leger Fernández introduced the Defenders of Bataan and Corregidor Congressional Gold Medal Act to bestow our nation’s highest civilian honor to the heroes - including many New Mexicans - who bravely defended Bataan and Corregidor.
