Local veterans will be gathering for breakfast on 6 September 2019, at 0900 hours at the Hopkinton Senior Center. The monthly tribute is highlighted by great chow and warm camaraderie.

The agenda comprises a remembrance of comrades who passed-away in the previous month, and recognizing those who are on "Sick Call." This provides an opportunity to be generous with our time to visit and/or send cards and notes to our ailing comrades. More of us should do this.
