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.
After breakfast we will recall military events that previously occurred on September 6th; for example, in 1953 when the last American and Korean prisoners were exchanged in Operation Big Switch, the last official act of the Korean conflict.
There will be other announcements of forthcoming Hopkinton veterans activities.
A free breakfast and lunch will be awarded to the first person who correctly answers the monthly baseball quiz. Who was the last Red Sox player to play in all 162 games: Nomar Garciaparra, Dustin Pedroia, or Dwight Evans?
Hopkinton veterans with transportation difficulties should call the Senior Center (508 497-9730), on/before 4 September 2019. Please encourage other veterans to attend the breakfast.
American Legion McDonough-Carlberg Post 202 will lead the Pledge of Allegiance, and bless the meal.
See you Friday. Out.
