WASHINGTON — Artwork created by children of soldiers stationed at Fort Drum is decorating the White House this week.
In an announcement shared Tuesday morning, first lady Jill Biden’s office announced that she has once again organized a “Valentine to the Country” on the White House’s North Lawn, this year with “heart-work” created by the children of the South Riva Ridge Child Development Center on Fort Drum.
The first lady visited Fort Drum, home of the 10th Mountain Division, two weeks ago as part of her “Joining Forces” initiative to connect with and support current and former service members and their families.
The Valentine’s Day-themed artwork created by the Fort Drum children was put up around the North Lawn and White House overnight Monday into Tuesday and was unveiled at sunrise.
