HICKSVILLE VIETNAM WAR ERA MEMORIAL - PROJECT UPDATE

Fund Raising: $210 was received in October from two new donors and two repeat donors! This was a slight gain over September. Total donations have now reached $17,326.85, a little over 69% of our $25,000 goal.

The total number of donors is now 165, still a very small percentage of the nearly 2,000 readers of HixNews.

With donations still below 10% of HixNews readership, if many of you who have yet to donate will spare as little as $10 for this worthy cause, we can achieve our needed goal very soon.

Remember, your donations are tax deductible. Just follow the simple instructions below. Your generosity will be very much appreciated.

Donation checks should be made out to:

Hicksville Vietnam Era Memorial Project

And should be mailed to:

Hicksville Vietnam Era Memorial Project
c/o William Walden
245 West 9th Street
Deer Park , NY 11729

An alphabetical list of current donors appears at the end of this monthly update.

Two new names were added in October and the Confirmed List is now at 1,910 names. We still need missing data additions for many names, so we continue to need help from all our readers here!!

As a HixNews reader, please help us by reviewing both lists when you select the "click here" options near the bottom of this update. To save you time, just look for names from your class year and other years you may be familiar with, as a reference and see if you have a new name or some missing data on existing names to email to us. Class years, where known, are specifically shown and missing data is marked in red, to make it easy for you to see what's needed.

The Unconfirmed List was created to specifically insure we don't leave anyone behind from earlier class years (the 1940s and 50s) who served during the Vietnam War Era and deserve recognition. Please see if you can help us establish if these folks served during the Vietnam Era (Vietnam Era dates are shown in the "Memorial Qualifications" section below).

Memorial Qualifications: Overall Qualifications for the Memorial were displayed monthly in this report for a long time and have not changed. If you are a new reader, please check a January, 2015 or earlier issue of HixNews for qualifications.

Here's what we continue to need from each person reading this to do:

A hearty Thank You to all of our donors!! As noted earlier, 165 donors have enabled us to achieve a total of $17,326.85. Following is the list of donors, as of the end of October 2016:
