Thank you! Over 450 Valentines Sent to Troops
The Oliver-Floyd Funeral Home in Greenville in
cooperation with the Veterans & Family Memorial Care program,
Woodland Primary School in Greenville, Ansonia “ Kid’s That Care”,
Mississinawa Elemetary and St. Mary’s School in Greenville, worked
together to show our troops in Iraq, United States and Afghanistan how
much we care and support them with “Operation Valentine”.
Joe Floyd, owner of the Oliver-Floyd Funeral Home stated “The
objective was to send Valentine Cards to our troops, here and overseas
with messages of love, heartfelt thanks and appreciation for the
sacrifices they make for all of us every day. The response from our
teachers and students was phenomenal with the students making over 450
special Valentine’s for our soldiers.”
“Soldiers are your brothers and sisters, your
mothers and fathers, your cousins, friends, aunt and uncles. They
are what make this country great. So we wanted to tell them”
added Floyd. This year we sent to some of the soldiers that have
relatives and family around here that gave us the addresses. Then
they can share the cards with members of their troops to help brighten
up their day.
Soldiers enjoy getting anything from back home, and
heartfelt Valentine cards are greatly appreciated.
We at Oliver-Floyd Funeral Home would like to thank you,
all the children and teachers that helped us with “Operation
Valentine”, making Valentine Day a special day for them. Our
soldiers, who serve and protect our rights and freedom as Americans and
deserve our best.
