Dear Veterans and Friends:

Have no fear, the upcoming Hopkinton Vets Breakfast breakfast is just around the corner: 5 May 2017, 0900 hours, at the Senior Center. It's your very own Top-O-The-Morning with great friends and good chow.

Do a little homework beforehand:
www.hcam.tv/series/veterans/slideshow.shtml
www.hcam.tv/veteransremember

These sites are valuable and hopefully permanent records of Hopkinton's military history.

Tribute will be paid to comrades who passed-on during the past month, and those who are on "sick call" will be acknowledged. It will be a generous gesture to pay a visit to one or more of our ailing comrades.

Memories of military events that previously occurred on May 5th will be shared. Various other announcements will keep you abreast of Hopkinton happenings relating to veterans. A free breakfast will be made available to anyone who correctly answers the monthly baseball quiz. Five center fielders were elected to Cooperstown in their first year of eligibility: Ty Cobb, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Kirby Puckett, and _____. Who is the fifth CFer?

Any veteran with transportation difficulties should call Amy Beck on/before 3 May 2017, 508 497-9730. Please encourage other Vets to attend the breakfast, and enjoy the camaraderie.

American Legion McDonough-Carlberg Post 202 will lead the Pledge of Allegiance, and blessing of the meal.

See you Friday. Out.
