Dear Veterans and Friends:
Hopkinton veterans will gather for breakfast on 1 February 2019, at 0900 hours, at the Senior Center to enjoy great chow, and friendly camaraderie.
Our comrades who passed away during January 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!
A few comments after breakfast will recall memories of military events that previously occurred on February 1st; for example, in 1964, President Lydon Johnson rejected Charles de Gaulle’s plan for a neutral Viet Nam.
Other announcements will keep you abreast of Hopkinton happenings relating to veterans.
A free breakfast and lunch will be awarded to the first person who correctly answers the monthly baseball quiz: who was the Red Sox starting pitcher in the 1948 AL one-game playoff (Tex Hughson, Ellis Kinder, Denny Galehouse, or Mel Parnell)?
Hopkinton veterans with transportation difficulties should call Amy Beck on/before 30 January 2019, 508 497-9730. Please encourage other Hopkinton Vets to attend the breakfast.
American Legion McDonough-Carlberg Post 202 will lead the Pledge of Allegiance, and bless the meal.
See you Friday. Out.
