Dear Veterans and Friends:
Clear your calendar, the upcoming Vets Breakfast is on 2 March 2018, at 0900 hours, at the Senior Center. It is another opportunity to share camaraderie, community, and chow with fellow veterans.
Tribute will be paid to comrades who passed away during the past month, and those who are on "Sick Call" will be acknowledged. It is a generous gesture you when pay a visit or send a card to one or more of our ailing comrades.
Memories of military events that previously occurred on March 2nd will be shared; for example, the end of the siege of Khe Sanh, Viet Nam in 1968. Various other announcements will keep you abreast of Hopkinton happenings relating to veterans.
A free breakfast and lunch will be made available to the first person who correctly answers the monthly baseball quiz: Who from among the following has the longest consecutive-game hitting streak in Red Sox history: Dom DiMaggio, Nomar Garciapara, Ted Williams, or Wade Boggs? Last month the winner was Mike Whalen.
Any veteran with transportation difficulties should call Amy Beck on/before 28 February 2018, 508 497-9730. Please encourage other Vets to attend the breakfast.
American Legion McDonough-Carlberg Post 202 will lead the Pledge of Allegiance, and the blessing of the meal.
See you Friday. Out.
