People Looking for People
We've taken a new approach to this section. It's been re-organized by Henry Lichtenstein as an online spreadsheet. Rather than publish the list here, it's now available below. If you have found the person you are looking for, please let the editors know so the name can be removed from the list. If there's someone you're looking for, just send your request and we'll be happy to add it to the list. If anyone knows these folks, send an email to:
HixNews Subscribers Name & Class List
We have an organized online spreadsheet that presents our current membership: available below. If you wish to add, subtract, or modify an entry on this list, send an email to:
I think this says it all if anyone ever asks why we're putting so much time into getting the HICKSVILLE VIETNAM WAR ERA MEMORIAL constructed, especially the paragraphs I've highlighted In James Webbs Heroes of the Vietnam Generation. I received this month's Honoring Our Veterans write-up from a good friend of mine who is well aware of what we're doing.

Hicksville Vietnam War Era Memorial - PROJECT UPDATE
November was an excellent month, with 12 new names added to the Confirmed List of Names, for a new total of 1,877! This well emphasizes the continued need for the help of the HixNews readership to insure we leave no one behind who deserves to be included in this Memorial.
Two months ago we announced the inclusion of Reserve and National Guard members as part of the Memorial, provided they served during the Vietnam War Era and meet all other qualification requirements. We have already added a good number of these names to the Confirmed List, but if you previously submitted your name, or the name of a friend, who under the old rules was turned down and do not currently see that name on the Confirmed List, please help us by resubmitting it to me for reconsideration.
November's celebration of Veterans Day on Monday, the 11th, was particularly heartwarming as the media used the entire weekend preceding it to show our nation's thanks for the service of all current and past members of our nation's Armed Forces, a lesson learned from the days when the public often did not acknowledge the service of the Vietnam Veteran when he or she returned home.
As always, to see the full report on the Memorial's status, please see this month's update by clicking on the Honoring Our Veterans page of this newsletter. Clicking on the two links near the bottom of the update will bring you to the complete Confirmed and Unconfirmed List of Names as of the end of November.
We wish each of you and your families All the Best for a Joyous Holiday Season and a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous 2014!
On behalf of the Project Team,
Joe Carfora, HHS '62
