VOL. 118 - NO. 46 BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, NOVEMBER 14, 2014 $.35 A COPY CHARLESTOWN ANNUAL VETERANS’ DINNER by Sal Giarratani Once again, all Charlestown veterans and those presently on active duty, family and friends packed the Knights of Columbus on Medford Street last Friday, November 7 at the 2nd Annual Veterans’’ Dinner sponsored by the Abraham Lincoln Post 11, GAR. This year’s gathering more than doubled in size over previous gatherings at Post 11 GAR on Green Street. Post Commander Joe Zuffante, hoped next year’s gathering and those to follow will keep growing in participation. As a member of Post 11, I very much appreciated the tribute this year to all those Townies who served during the Vietnam War, especially honoring those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. This annual pre-Veterans Day appreciation dinner is held to honor all who served in the Armed Forces. It was 96 years ago on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, that World War I came to an end and hun- dreds of thousands of American soldiers began the long voyage home. This year, in the months to come many of our troops will be coming home and sadly many others will be going off to harm’s way leaving their loving fami- lies behind to defend American principles. As a Vietnam era U.S. Air Force veteran, I remain especially cognitive of the lack of appreciation and honor due to them when they returned from the war which had grown quite unpopular at home in the U.S. This feeling of being unrecognized was aptly portrayed in the poem “Coming Home” by Bill Ehrhart who served as a Marine sergeant in Vietnam back in 1967-68. In this poem he wrote a very sad and descript scene of his invis- ible arrival in San Francisco at the end of his tour of duty in 1968: “COMING HOME” “No more corpsmen stuff, L-R: City Councilor Sal LaMattina, Boston Veterans Commissioner Ruptured chests with cotton balls and Francisco Urena, Post 11 Commander Joe Zuffante and State Rep.

Today, in America, coming home means something again. What happened I bought a ticket to Philadelphia, at the loading gate they told me, back then should never be repeated again. “Thank you for flying TWA. We hope you will enjoy your flight. That is why Charlestown honors service to country and gathers No brass bands; no flags, no girls, no cameramen. them for a meal together.

Simboli To all the North End residents, business owners, family and friends who have supported me through their efforts, time and patience in making the “Sorrentino Stompers” in memory of Robert T. Sorrentino each October a success. 2014 was our most successful fundraiser raising $10,600 which would not have been possible without your support and I am truly grateful. Our seven year grand total is $46,218, all of which goes to Dana Farber’s Jimmy Fund in memory of Robert T. Sorrentino. It’s a dream come true to raise this kind of money, in Ruby Zielinski particular our one night total, which is beyond words. You all made this possible. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
