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
We gained one new donor in August, so donations continue, but at a very slow pace. $100 was received for a new total of $19,052. After tax expenses last year, we have a total of $18,177 available to us, sufficient to build the Memorial, but not enough to maintain it after construction. Repeat donors have been very helpful, but we sure would like to see new donors help in reaching our $25,000 total goal. Details on where to mail your donation check, continue to be shown in this month's Project Update, which appears in the Honoring Our Veterans tab of the newsletter.
In addition to donations, a number of good things continue to happen to move the Project towards completion. Please see the Project Update in the Honoring Our Veterans section of this newsletter for details.
As always, should you have any new information to report for either the Confirmed or Unconfirmed Lists of Names, particularly to fill in missing data on the Confirmed List, please email me at
On behalf of the Project Team, we hope all of you enjoy a good, safe, Labor Day Weekend!
