Frelinghuysen, Vigilante Continue Valentines for Vets Campaign
Littleton School students team up with a congressman and a war hero to send greetings to wounded military vets for the holiday of love.
Parsippany students had an opportunity Thursday to wish American soldiers a happy Valentine's Day. District 11 U.S. Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen and U.S. Air Force Reserves Master Sgt. James Vigilante visited Littleton Elementary School, where students created holiday cards for soldiers hurt in the line of duty.
"These messages from students lift the spirits of veterans confined to a hospital on Valentine's Day," said Frelinghuysen, a Vietnam War veteran.
Mayor James Barberio was also on hand for the special visit.
