Hopkinton military veterans gathered for breakfast and camaraderie on 3 June 2022, at the Senior Center. The meal was sponsored by Fairfield Estates.

Monthly discussions of anniversaries of military events that occurred on June 3rd were highlighted. Because of the time-proximity to D-Day, much of the focus was on happenings of 1944.

Additional discussion points included remembrances of recently passed veterans. Comments were mainly from the Viet Nam era, and all were personal and heart-felt.
