HICKSVILLE VIETNAM WAR ERA MEMORIAL - PROJECT UPDATE

Five new donors in June brought in an additional $675, for a new total of $16,317!  Total donations are now very close to two thirds of our $25,000 goal to build, place and maintain the Memorial, so design finalization and construction can begin soon.

With 153 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 deductibile. 

An alphabetical list of donors through June, along with details you will need to mail in new donations, can be viewed in this month's MEMORIAL UPDATE in the Honoring Our Veterans section of the newsletter.  

Two new names joined the Confirmed List in June for a new total of 1,907 names.  As in the past, 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 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

As we all get ready to celebrate the long 4th of July Weekend over the next few days, let's all remember those who have sacrificed to keep our Nation strong and free over the past 240 years and Have a Great 4th!

We hope you had a great Memorial Day Weekend and were able to take a moment to remember those who paid the ultimate price in defense of our nation's Freedom.

On behalf of the Project Team,
Joe Carfora, Project Coordinator, HHS 1962
