HICKSVILLE VIETNAM WAR ERA MEMORIAL - PROJECT UPDATE

With the continued state of the Coronavirus Pandemic, we have nothing new to report at this time. Last month's Update, for January, 2021, has been again published 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

Written across the wall of the cave were the following symbols:

It was considered a unique find and the writings were said to be at least 3,000 years old! The piece of stone was removed, brought to the museum, and archaeologists from around the world came to study the ancient symbols. They held a huge meeting after months of conferences to discuss the meaning of the markings. The president of the society pointed to first drawing and said:

"This is a woman. We can see these people held women in high esteem.

You can also tell they were intelligent, as the next symbol is a donkey, so they were smart enough to have animals help them till the soil.

The next drawing is a shovel, which means they had tools to help them.

Even further proof of their high intelligence is the fish which means that during a famine, they seek food from the sea.

The last symbol appears to be the Star of David which means they were evidently Hebrews." The audience applauded enthusiastically.
Then an old Jewish man stood up in the back of the room and said,

"Idiots... Hebrew is read from right to left... It says: 'Holy mackerel, dig the ass on that chick".
