Dear Vets and Friends:
It is great that you are maintaining the momentum to build Hopkinton's military archives. This wonderful resource will benefit future generations, thanks to you.

www.hcam.tv/veteransremember
These sites are valuable and hopefully permanent records of Hopkinton's history.
Tribute will be paid to comrades who passed-on during last month. Also, there will be acknowledgement of those who are on "sick call," and will appreciate in-person visits.
We will share memories of military events that previously occurred on June 3rd; there are selected military photos (mostly WW II) taken on that date. Various other announcements will keep you abreast of Hopkinton Happenings relating to veterans.
A free breakfast is available to anyone who correctly answers the monthly baseball quiz: Four players hit World Series HRs in three different decades; 3 are Matt Williams, Eddie Murray, and Joe DiMaggio. Who is the fourth?
Any veteran with transportation difficulties should call Amy Beck on/before 1 June 2016, 508 497-9730. Please encourage other Vets to attend the breakfast, and enjoy the camaraderie and good chow. And don't forget the chipped beef, hash, bacon, scrambled eggs, muffins, juice, and plenty of coffee.
American Legion McDonough-Carlberg Post 202 will lead the Pledge of Allegiance, and blessing of the meal.
See you Friday. Out.
