                        VALENTINES FOR VETERANS

  (Mr. MORELLE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MORELLE. Mr. Speaker, it can be easy to feel disheartened in 
Washington amid the partisan strife and bitter political division. I 
want to take a moment to change that narrative and thank my district 
for their profound display of community.
  My office is leading a Valentines for Veterans drive this week, which 
encourages members of our community to make valentines for those who 
have bravely served our Nation. The number of heartfelt cards we have 
seen thanking our servicemembers for their commitment to this country 
has been truly heartening.
  I would like to especially give a shout-out to the students in my 
district whose classes have dropped off a number of incredibly creative 
cards: Ms. Walsh's fourth grade class at Northside School in Fairport; 
the Klem North Elementary School in Webster; TLC Adventure in Child 
Care daycare; the Joseph C. Wilson Foundation Academy in Rochester; the 
Mary Cariola Center; and my granddaughter Harper's class at Paddy Hill 
Elementary School in Greece.
  I am so proud of our Nation's veterans and of our community for 
coming together in such a touching display of support for them.
