mini As we approach Valentine's Day, it’s a time to reflect on love, sacrifice, and the bonds that unite us as a community. This year, I want to highlight an important cause that deserves our attention and generosity—the widows of fallen soldiers. These women have given up so much, enduring unimaginable loss while also holding their families together in the face of tragedy. Our soldiers make the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom, and in turn, it’s our responsibility to ensure their families are not forgotten. This Valentine’s Day, I’m hoping we can come together to raise funds to provide these widows with a gift—a simple gesture of love and support that reminds them they are seen, appreciated, and never alone. These families have faced heartache no one should have to endure, and a small act of kindness can go a long way in easing their burdens. By contributing, we honor their loved ones' sacrifices and offer a tangible expression of gratitude. Whether it’s flowers, chocolates, or a heartfelt note, let’s come together to show them that we stand beside them in both their grief and their strength. Every dollar raised will go directly toward providing these special gifts, ensuring that, while they may no longer have their partners with them, they still feel the warmth of a community that cares. Let’s make this Valentine’s Day one where love and support go beyond the usual celebrations, reaching out to those who truly need it. Thank you for your generosity and compassion. With gratitude, Peyton
