Assemblyman Santabarbara provided students at the Hamilton Elementary School Students with “Holiday Cards for Heroes” cards. Kids decorated the cards and wrote personalized “Thank You” messages to local veterans. These holiday cards will now be delivered to local veterans staying at the Albany Stratton VA Medical Center in conjunction with the AMVETS “Stuff the Bus for Veterans” event on Saturday (12/17).

“Our veterans have made extraordinary sacrifices for our country and this special event brings them a special thank you from kids in our community,’ said Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara. “The freedoms we enjoy each day should remind us of just how much veterans mean to our country and my Holiday Cards for Heroes gives students an opportunity to show their gratitude and appreciation this holiday season”.

While Santabarbara’s office expects to deliver 1000’s cards prepared by Hamilton Elementary School students in Schenectady, his office has opened the program for all to participate online. The “Holiday Cards for Heroes” cards are available for download on his Assembly website by visiting www.nyassembly.gov/Santabarbara. 

Completed cards can be returned in-person or by mail to any of my district offices by DATE: December 22nd, 2022.
