COME CRUISE WITH US HHS ALUMNI TO BEAUTIFUL BERMUDA

7-Night Cruise on the Fabulous Norwegian Star

October 7, 2012

No Flights. No Hassles. Sail round-trip from New York City to the beautiful island of Bermuda on the magnificent NCL STAR renowned for her beauty, food and entertainment. Enjoy freestyle cruising, being pampered in the spa, winning big in the casino, dancing the night away in the disco or just relaxing by the pool and that's before you step off the ship! Upon arrival in Bermuda, go shopping, stroll the island and view the homes the colors of flowers; in hues of yodeling yellows, pretty pinks, pleasing peaches and gentle greens that adorn the landscape. Enjoy their famous pink sand beaches or take some of the many shore trips we will be offering for our members only. As Mark Twain once said, 'you go to heaven if you want; I'll stay in Bermuda'

Hicksville Vietnam War Era Memorial - PROJECT UPDATE

Five names were added in July for a new total of 1,788.

The search for new names is nearly complete and our work continues to center on filling in missing data for the names we already have.  As a HixNews reader, you can still be of significant help to this effort by clicking on the list of names near the bottom of this month's UPDATE that appears in the Honoring Our Veterans section of the newsletter.  Please look the list over to see if we are still missing any Veterans you know of and also let us know if you have some of the data we are missing for names already on the list.  During July we will send a letter to all of the local Hicksville Veterans Group Commanders with a similar appeal to their membership to not only complete the listings we already have, but to make certain we leave no one behind who deserves to be included in the Memorial.

We trust you are all enjoying a good summer, even with the heat!

On behalf of The Project Team,
Joe Carfora, HHS '62
