Children, Adult Volunteers Show Love for Veterans

The Milton Love Project took a new spin with its Hearts for Veterans Day project.

Debbie Daviadoff headed the Hearts for Veterans Project, which was an effort to give thanks and recognition to veterans living in the city of Milton. These hearts will be displayed every year on Memorial Day, the Fourth of July and Veterans Day.

"In 5 short days we were able to construct, paint and deliver a grand total of 91, ‘Hearts for Veterans’," Daviadoff said. "These hearts were assembled with help from veteran Terry Allen, then painted with love by: Natalie Fiacco, Kiera Jones, Matt and Charlie Paulus, Alyssa and Kelsey Sayre and Ashley Martin. Aidan Fitzpatrick helped deliver and install the hearts, in the yards of our veteran’s homes, along with several adult volunteers.

"It took a village, but we got it done," Daviadoff  said.

"We will be having heart painting events throughout the coming year to help us reach our goal of doubling the total number of ‘Hearts for Veterans’ by Memorial Day 2014," she said.
