On Valentine’s Day, we exchange candy, flowers,
gifts, and greetings with the ones we care about

their life right now so remember to honor the ones you care about with kind words, a Valentine's day card, or how ever you prefer to share you friendship and affection. And if would like to know who this St.Valentine is, follow this link to History channel website to learn about the history of Valentine's Day:  Valentine'sDayHistory
