Valentines With a A Veteran

Council President Ed Flynn and Councilor At-Large Erin Murphy partner with South Boston Moms Club to Celebrate Valentines with A Veteran

The event was held at the Thomas J. Fitzgerald VFW Post 561 in South Boston in celebration of local veterans and featured pizza, treats, and children talking to veterans while making Valentine’s Day cards for them.

Council President Flynn, together with former Mayor Raymond Flynn, brought pizzas for the event, and the South Boston Moms Club brought along arts and craft supplies for the card decoration. Over 20 moms, kids and veterans were in attendance, and everyone had a great time, especially our local veterans who were delighted to receive so many cards this year. In the past, South Boston

Moms Club has held Valentine’s events at the Marion Manor, but decided to also show our deep appreciation for our veterans and military families this year.

“We had a fun Valentines with a Vet event with the South

Boston Moms Club last week. It was great to engage so many wonderful children and families, to get creative and do something both sweet and meaningful for the local veteran community. When a veteran serves, the family serves as well. This was a wonderful way to pay tribute to our veterans and military families while we honor their service, sacrifice, and dedication to our city and country.” said Council President Flynn.
