The Jefferson Davis Republican Women were joined by the LSUE senior nursing students to bring valentines and cookies to the veterans at the Southwest Louisiana War Veterans Home, on Friday, February 16. This is the annual valentines project for the JDRW, and a community service project for the students. They gathered earlier in the day to assemble the bags of cookies, and students from Jennings Elementary School and the student nurses provided the valentines. Both groups enjoyed the event as much as the veterans did.
