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:

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:
HICKSVILLE VIETNAM WAR ERA MEMORIAL - PROJECT UPDATE
Three new and one repeat donor in November brought in an additional $395,bringing total donations to $17,722. This was a good pickup from October. Total donations are now just under 71% of our $25,000 goal to build, place and maintain the Memorial.
With 168 donors, we have still received donations from less than 10% of the HixNews readership. So, if many of you who have yet to donate can spare as little as $10, we can easily achieve our goal. Please remember, all donations are tax deductible.
An alphabetical list of donors through September, along with details you will need to mail your donation, can be viewed in this month's MEMORIAL UPDATE in the Honoring Our Veterans section of the newsletter.
No new names were added to The Confirmed List of Names in November, so the total remains at 1,910 names. When you visit this month's detailed UPDATE, please remember that clicking on the two links near the bottom of the page will bring you to the complete Confirmed and Unconfirmed Lists of Names as of the end of June. And, If you have any new information to send us, please email it to me at
Wishing you all the Very Best for the Holiday Season!

Presiding over the ceremony was Hicksville Veterans of Foreign Wars Commander, William Walden (HHS '65). On display at the ceremony was the main plaque for the future Hicksville Vietnam Era Memorial. During the ceremony, Commander Walden gave a brief history of the project, pointed out where the memorial would eventually be placed, and it's current status. After the ceremony, a number of individuals approached Commander Walden and asked about donating to the project. After the ceremony the plaque was returned to the Hicksville V.F.W. Post where it is prominently displayed in the lobby of the Post building.
