Camaraderie, community, and chow will be at the Senior Center mess hall on Friday, 4 October 2013, at or before 0900 hours. Your Vets Breakfast will feature the best chipped beef in the three-state area (sez me). Bring friends who are veterans. Anyone with a transportation hardship should call Sally Almy before 2 October 2013.
The Photo Gallery is waiting for your visit, and your recruiting of friends to fall-in with a photographic memory of their service time. Anyone who has ever lived in Hopkinton, and who has ever worn a military uniform deserves to be enlisted in the Gallery.
Veterans Remember is in need of some military veteran star power to share the lens with Dick Gooding. The summer season found it difficult to assemble the many persons who are needed to film a show, but we re-energized by taping an interesting session on 25 September. Ted Hoyt, a 10-year Hopkintonian tells of growing-up in Framingham, attending West Point, and working with Kurds in Iraq as a member of the Special Forces.
Here’s the free breakfast challenge. In the decade of the 1940s, 4 MLers won multiple MVP awards. From among the 4, name the 3 who were veterans of WW II (i.e., playing fewer years than non-Vets).
Mark your calendar! American Legion Post 202 is bringing a different breed of soldier to the Senior Center on 17 October 2013, at 1000 hours. Mike Lemish and his side-kick Lucy the German Shepherd will tell us about war dogs. The US military has 2700 dogs today; several hundred are in Afghanistan and Iraq locating roadside bombs. Seal Team Six had a K9 companion to help in taking out bin Laden. Details are at www.k9writer.com . Another veterans story, thanks to HCAM, is one you don’t want to miss: www.hcam.tv/news/militarybaseball .
See you Friday. Out.
