Dear Veterans and Friends:

Hopkinton veterans will gather for breakfast on 4 January 2019, at 0900 hours, at the Senior Center to enjoy great chow, and top notch camaraderie.

Our comrades who passed away during December will be remembered, and the condition of those who are on "Sick Call" will be updated. It is encouraging that several veterans are generous with their time, and visit and/or send cards to our ailing buddies. More of us should do this. Keep up the good work!
