HICKSVILLE VIETNAM WAR ERA MEMORIAL - PROJECT UPDATE

The FINAL Confirmed List of Names, as originally published 4 months ago, again appears in this month's Update in the Honoring Our Veterans tab of this issue of HixNews. Some confusion has existed since the names of those who were Killed in Action do not appear on this list, because they appear with additional details on a separate plaque, located in a special place of honor on the Memorial's Center Stone, just below the Memorial's Dedication Plaque. Please see the two photos below, the first showing the Center Stone, with these two plaques already in place at the Jerusalem Avenue school's Memorial Gardens and the second is a close up photo of the KIA plaque.

Weather permitting, construction of the entire Vietnam War Era Memorial should be completed in November!! While we will make an announcement on completion for those who wish to stop by to view the Memorial, we have decided to delay the actual Dedication Ceremony until next spring, when the weather should be more conducive to an outdoor event. For additional details, please see the latest Update, as noted above.

As always, should you wish to make any comments on the Project's status, please email me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

On behalf of the Project Team,
Joe Carfora, HHS 1962
