The United States Army Reserve American Samoa Survivor Outreach Services is spreading love the day before and on Valentine’s Day.
It’s hosting Operation Love letters 2016.
This is an annual celebration to honor fallen soldiers and loved ones through fellowship and writing love letters, poetry, creating greeting cards and sharing lovable nuggets of their soldier.
The celebration takes place in February to commemorate soldiers love for country by paying tribute to our love for them.
The activities for the day include a walk, run and exercise session at the OMV Track beginning at 5:30 which is open to the community.
You’re invited to walk as a family, with friends, co workers, or whatever catches your fancy.
