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
I am very happy to report that our Hicksville coordinator and project treasurer, Bill Walden, is doing very well after his recent hospitalization and surgery. Due to his situation, however, we are unable to report on our donation receipts for March, but will catch up again with the May 1 issue of HixNews.
Per our February update, which appeared in the March 1 issue of HixNews, thanks to the help and generosity of our HixNews readership, we now have sufficient funds available ($17,200) to begin Memorial construction, but still need additional help to complete construction and maintain the Memorial after it is in place. We hope to name a construction sub-committee in April and report on it in the May 1 issue.
Please continue to tap your check books for this effort. All donations can be mailed to us as follows:
Make your checks out to:
Hicksville Vietnam Era Memorial Project
And mail them to:
Hicksville Vietnam Era Memorial Project
c/o William Walden
245 West 9th Street
Deer Park, NY 11729
Since we cannot add to the list of donors this month due to Bill's situation and both the Confirmed and Unconfirmed Lists of Names have not changed since our March 1 update, an update has not been posted in the Honoring Our Veterans section of this issue.
Should you have any new information to report for either list, particularly in filling in the missing data blanks on the Confirmed List, please email me at
On behalf of the Project Team,
Joe Carfora, Project Coordinator, HHS 1962
