On April 19th, 2018, five years after the Boston Marathon bombing suspect died in a violent shootout in Watertown, Massachusetts, H&K Insurance hosted a breakfast for the Watertown Police and Fire Department to commensurate the anniversary of this pivotal day.
From 10 to 12, a group of hungry officers entered the Community Room to be served hot scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, and others pastries – the biggest commodity of them all being coffee. Lining the wall was a buffet style breakfast with a twist, the H&K staff stood one by one to serve them as they serve us every single day.
“We are very thankful to the Watertown Police and Fire Department for all of their hard work and service to the community. In wake of what happened five years ago, we couldn’t think of a better way to show our appreciation by preparing a hearty breakfast,” remarked Brian Kilcoyne, President of H&K Insurance.
To incorporate the entire community into this event, the H&K team created a video documenting the breakfast and took some time to speak with Sgt. John MacLellan, who was a first responder at the time, about what unfolded that day.
In Sgt. MacLellan’s own words, “It was great to see the entire community rally behind us in support. People were lining the streets high-fiving police officers and holding American flags. The overwhelming love and support for law-enforcement was truly amazing to see.”
“The honor is truly ours. We love our community and express our thanks to Sensational Foods on Bigelow Ave for catering the breakfast,” said Brendon Kilcoyne of H&K Insurance.
