More than 100 men and women at the Missouri Veterans Home in Cape Girardeau received valentine cards and gifts from Southeast Missouri State University Air Force ROTC cadets.
The cadets who created this community service project wanted to make the holiday special and personal for the residents.
Four cadets personally met with each veteran at the home, but the entire cadet corps worked together signing the valentine cards and wrapping the gifts.
The cadet corps visits the veterans home several times a year, fostering bonds between the cadets and veterans.
