Dear Veterans and Friends:
The upcoming Vets Breakfast is on 3 August 2018, at 0900 hours, at the Senior Center bringing you an 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 when you pay a visit or send a card to one or more of our ailing comrades.
Memories of military events that previously occurred on July 13th will be shared; for example, the Department of Defense increasing the monthly draft call on 3 August 1965 to accommodate the troop build-up in Viet Nam.
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: What Red Sox player did Ted Williams describe as the "second greatest hitter after Joe DiMaggio?
Any veteran with transportation difficulties should call Amy Beck on/before 1 August 2018, 508 497-9730. Please encourage other Hopkinton 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.
Discipline is the soul of an army. It makes small numbers formidable; procures success to the weak, and esteem to all.
George Washington
