Valentines for Veterans
U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer is calling for all constituents in Missouri’s 3rd Congressional District to participate in his first ever “Valentines for Veterans” program. The Valentines for Veterans can be dropped off or mailed to Luetkemeyer’s district offices until Friday, Feb. 5. The following week, the valentines will be distributed to various VA hospitals and veterans service organizations.
The addresses to each of Luetkemeyer’s district offices are:

In addition, please be sure to follow these few rules:
- Do not address the valentine to a specific person.
- Do not sign your last name or include your address.
- Do not seal the valentines in individual envelopes.
- Please note that all valentines are reviewed by staff for appropriateness prior to distribution. We encourage you to write a kind note thanking the veteran for their service.
