An incredible outpouring of support for the Veterans Land Board’s “Valentines for Vets” program from across Texas and the nation resulted in more than 17,000 Valentine’s Day cards received at the 10 Texas State Veterans Homes. That total included 550 Valentines sent to the Frank M. Tejeda Texas State Veterans Home in Floresville. The most Valentines went to the William R. Courtney Texas State Veterans Home in Temple, which received an astounding 4,050 cards. The program is an annual effort of the Veterans Land Board.
