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.

Good progress continues on Memorial construction. The Memorial's footers were poured in May and the center stone was ordered. Upon ordering the stone, we learned that delivery lead times are currently running from 6 to 8 weeks, so we expect to have the center stone, with both the Memorial's dedication and KIA plaques, fully mounted on the Memorial's footers NLT mid-July. We will be ordering the nameplates for the entire Confirmed List of Names this month, along with the remaining two stones upon which they will be mounted, one left and one right of the center stone. More details, to include the projected Memorial Dedication time frame, are also included in this month's Update, along with the latest information on donations.

We trust all reader's had an enjoyable Memorial Day Weekend and were able to spend some time remembering those close to them who paid the ultimate price in service to our country.

Zen Teachings

1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me for the path is narrow. In fact, just piss off and leave me alone.
2. Sex is like air. It's not that important unless you aren't getting any.
3. No one is listening until you fart.
4. Always remember you're unique. Just like everyone else.
5. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.
6. If you think nobody cares whether you're alive or dead, try missing a couple of mortgage payments.
7. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
8. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
9. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
10. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably well worth it.
11. If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.
12. Some days you are the dog, some days you are the tree.
13. Don't worry; it only seems kinky the first time.
14. Good judgment comes from bad experience ... and most of that comes from bad judgment.
15. A closed mouth gathers no foot.
16. There are two excellent theories for arguing with women. Neither one works.
17. Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your lips are moving.
18. Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
19. We are born naked, wet and hungry, and get slapped on our arse.... then things just keep getting worse.
20. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
