Over 500 Valentines Sent to Troops

The Oliver-Floyd Funeral Home in Greenville in cooperation with the Veterans & Family Memorial Care program, Woodland Primary School in Greenville, Ansonia “ Kid’s That Care” and St. Mary’s School in Greenville, worked together to show our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan how much we care and support them with “Operation Valentine”.

Joe Floyd, owner of the Oliver-Floyd Funeral Home stated “The objective was to send Valentine Cards to our troops overseas with messages of love, heartfelt thanks and appreciation for the sacrifices they make for all of us every day. The response from our teachers and students was phenomenal with the students making over 500 special Valentine’s for our soldiers.”

“Soldiers are your brothers and sisters, your mothers and fathers, your cousins, friends, aunt and uncles. They are what make this country great. So we wanted tell them” added Floyd.

Soldiers enjoy getting anything from back home, and heartfelt Valentine cards are greatly appreciated.

We at Oliver-Floyd Funeral Home would like to thank you, all the children and teachers that helped us with “Operation Valentine”, making Valentine Day a special day for them. Our soldiers, who serve and protect our rights and freedom as Americans and deserve our best.
