HICKSVILLE VIETNAM WAR ERA MEMORIAL - PROJECT UPDATE

With the continued state of the Coronavirus Pandemic, we have nothing new to report at this time. Our last Update is again posted in the Honoring Our Veterans section of this newsletter and represents the current status of the Project.

We expect this will remain the case for a number of future months to come, but hope the effect of the new vaccines will give us momentum again by late spring to early summer of this year.

We are pleased to again report that our core action team is safe from the virus. We are thankful for this and hope the same is true for all our readers and alumni.

While the Dedication Ceremony remains on hold, please remember that the Memorial is complete and can be viewed by anyone visiting the Memorial Gardens located on the south side of the Jerusalem Avenue Middle School.

The project will be officially complete once we are able to conduct the Dedication Ceremony at the Memorial.

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