26 January, 2018
Dear Veterans and Friends:
Your upcoming Vets Breakfast is on 2 February 2018, at 0900 hours, at the Senior Center. It is another wonderful 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 will be a generous gesture if you can pay a visit or send a card to one or more of our ailing comrades.
Memories of military events that previously occurred on February 2nd will be shared; for example, the deadly V-2 rocket attack on London in 1945. 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: As a member of the Red Sox, who was the first (probably the only?) player to hit a grand slam in an All-Star game?
Any veteran with transportation difficulties should call Amy Beck on/before 31 January 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.
Hank Allessio
