Enjoy a hearty breakfast while honoring our veterans. Everyone is welcome to attend. Breakfast is $5 per person and will include pancakes, sausage, eggs, and potatoes. All veterans are FREE.

The breakfast, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Nashoba Valley, will feature brief presentations from the Stow Boy Scouts, Senator Jamie Eldridge, and State Representative Kate Hogan. The keynote speaker will be Lieutenant Colonel Robert Grudziecki, who will speak about his experiences during the Vietnam War. He provided combat support to Naval Operations in the Yankee Station, located in the Gulf of Tonkin, and gained combat experience in several battles.  Upon completion of his tour in Vietnam and the Navy, he joined the Massachusetts Air National Guard, attended the Academy of Military Science at McGhee Tyson Air National Guard Base in Tennessee, and remained in the Air National Guard until 2000, completing 25 years of service. Lieutenant Colonel Grudziecki retired from military service in February 2008 and from the federal civil service in June 2015, having served almost 43 combined years and earning numerous military awards and decorations. Lieutenant Colonel Grudziecki remains active as a volunteer in Leominster, MA, including serving in leadership positions in several veterans’ organizations.

Although walk-ins are welcome to attend the breakfast, attendees are encouraged to RSVP to ensure adequate food and seating. Contact info@nashobarotary.org or 978-627-4135.
