The UPS Store in Stevens Point is making it easy for people to send valentines to troops overseas and in VA hospitals.

The business will cover the cost of first class postage for cards and letters. It's called Operation Sealed With a Kiss.

Valentines must be addressed to specific service members in order to be sent. To make sure they get to troops in time for the holiday, cards should be mailed by the end of the month.

A UPS sales associate says service members really appreciate the gesture.

"Over the years I've had numerous friends and neighbors deployed and I know they always love getting anything: letters, cards, packages, anything like that, so it's definitely a nice thing to do," said Amber Manthey.

She says Operation Sealed With a Kiss was started in 1991.
