Pierce County’s congressman, U.S. First District Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-Pooler, St. Simons Island), invites students and community members across Georgia’s First Congressional District to join him this Valentine’s Day in thanking first responders for the hard work they do by participating in his fourth annual “Friends of the First”.
“Friends of the First” is a campaign to collect valentines for first responders in Georgia’s First Congressional District. Carter will deliver the cards personally to every county in the First Congressional District, to firefighters, EMTs and police officers as a token of the community’s love and appreciation for their sacrifices and contributions to public safety.
“Friends of the First is one of my favorite events of the year. Not only do I get to spend my day traveling through our beautiful district, but I get to spend it with our amazing first responders, letting them know just how much they mean to our community,” said Rep. Carter. “Friends of the First has two meanings. The first is to show our appreciation for our first responders, and the second is to help teach our young people to respect those who put their lives on the line to protect ours.”
To participate, mail or drop off your valentine by February 10 to: Office of Rep. Buddy Carter ATTN: Friends of the First 6602 Abercorn Street Suite 105B Savannah, GA 31405
