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:
HixNews Subscribers Name & Class List
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
The final Confirmed List of Names, organized alphabetically by graduating class year, just as it will appear on the actual Memorial is what we will continue to publish from this point forward! To review the final list, please go to this month's Update in the Honoring Our Veterans tab of this issue of HixNews.
Confirmed List of Vietnam Memorial Names
Construction of the Vietnam War Era Memorial is now complete!!! The only exception is a possible image to be added to the top of the Center Stone to make it taller. Anyone may now stop by to view the Memorial! Please see the two recent photos below this note.
The official Dedication Ceremony will be announced in the 1/1/2020 issue of HixNews, or slightly afterwards, for a date in the spring when weather should be best for an outdoor event. We only have about $3,500 left in Memorial Funds and more may be needed, so it is still not too late to donate, especially since no new donations were received in October, or November.
For additional details, please see the latest Update, located in the Honoring Our Veterans section of this newsletter.
We trust this finds you after enjoying a Very Happy Thanksgiving and we wish each of you a Very Merry Christmas and All Good Things for 2020!!
As always, should you wish to make any comments on this Update, please email me at
On behalf of the Project Team,
