Dear Veterans and Friends:

The upcoming Vets Breakfast on 1 June 2018, at 0900 hours, at the Senior Center is your 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 June 1st will be shared; for example, in the Italian Campaign of World War II when the US 5th Army advanced toward Rome. Soldiers from Hopkinton were involved.

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: Ted Williams has the most-ever HRs as a Red Sox. Who is No. 2 in career HRs as a Red Sox? Last month there were multiple winners of an easy question.

Any veteran with transportation difficulties should call Amy Beck on/before 30 May 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.
