Kuster: This is a great chance to teach students about NH’s proud tradition of honoring those who serve

CONCORD, N.H. – Congresswoman Annie Kuster (NH-02) today announced that she has launched a “Holiday Cards for Heroes” drive at schools in the Second District to help honor New Hampshire’s veterans this holiday season. Elementary students at participating schools in Nashua and Concord – as well as other interested schools throughout the second district – will make holiday cards for Granite State veterans to thank them for their service to our country.  

“Our veterans, service members, and their families have sacrificed so much to protect and serve our state and country,” Kuster said. “The ‘Holiday Cards for Heroes’ drive is a great opportunity for young students to learn about New Hampshire’s proud tradition of honoring those who serve and to thank those who have worn the uniform. I encourage schools across the second district to participate and help send a message of thanks to New Hampshire’s veterans this holiday season.”

Members of Kuster’s staff will pick up cards from participating schools. Kuster, who is a member of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, will personally deliver the cards to veterans at the New Hampshire Veterans Home in Tilton later this month.

School districts interested in participating in the “Holiday Cards for Heroes” drive should call Mike Ollen at (603) 226-1002 for more information.
