Dear Veterans and Friends:

It doesn't get better than this. Veterans' spring training with great military chow at the Hopkinton Senior Center, 3 March 2017, at 0900 hours. It's worth it to start your morning with good friends.

Prepare for the get-together with

www.hcam.tv/veteransremember

These sites are valuable and hopefully permanent records of Hopkinton's military history.

Tribute will be paid to comrades who passed-on during the past month, and those who are on "sick call" will be acknowledged. It will be a generous gesture to pay a visit to one or more of our ailing comrades.

Memories of military events that previously occurred on March 3rd will be shared. Various other announcements will keep you abreast of Hopkinton happenings relating to veterans.

A free breakfast will be made available to anyone who correctly answers the monthly baseball quiz. Carlos Zambrano, a ML pitcher, has hit 24 career HRs including 10 consecutive years hitting at least one. Think of all ML pitchers. Who has hit the most career HRs? He was a B.R. Sox. On the list, numbers 5, 15, 21 also played for the Sox.

Any veteran with transportation difficulties should call Amy Beck on/before 1 March 2017, 508 497-9730. Please encourage other Vets to attend the breakfast, and enjoy the camaraderie.

American Legion McDonough-Carlberg Post 202 will lead the Pledge of Allegiance, and blessing of the meal.

See you Friday. Out.
