Love Letters From the President Harry S. Truman to his wife, Bess Wallace.

The St. Valentine's Day massacre is the name given to the shooting of seven people as part of a Prohibition Era conflict between two powerful criminal gangs in Chicago, Illinois in the winter of 1929: the South Side Italian gang led by Al "Scarface" Capone and the North Side Irish/German gang led by George 'Bugs' Moran.

Handmade paper hearts and romantic verses on decorated paper have been exchanged on Valentine's Day for centuries. Ready-made printed valentine cards have been popular since the 1840s.

WASHINGTON -- When St. Valentine was beheaded for marrying soldiers to their sweethearts, his last thought was probably not "Wow, someday lovers will give each other candy because of me."

This event was covered in both the Washington Post Express and Washington Post Weekend Valentine's Day Special. This party will be crazy, so please, come early and avoid all those hassles at the door.
