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:

In March '2015, the Hicksville Vietnam Era Veterans Memorial Fund reached $5000 in donations which is about a quarter of what is needed to bring the memorial to life. The committee would like to thank everyone who has donated up to now. Many of the donations received are accompanied by a short note expressing the individual's support and encouragement regarding the project. Below are some of the notes that have accompanied the donations.
