Valentine Valentine Days from Ann Landers column
Dear Readers: Today is Valentine's Day. The column reprints a 3 year old letter explaining origins of the holiday from Rome in the 3rd century. St Valentine sent messages from prison. Valentine’s Day evolved into gift giving with cards, flowers, candy, and a rise in merchants’ enthusiasm. The piece notes veterans in VA hospitals receiving valentines and thanks readers, especially schoolchildren, for visiting vets.
